How should you prepare?

Take the Tokyo 2020 anti-doping online course.

All anti-doping processes for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games are explained in the online course “ADEL for Tokyo 2020 Paralympics” on WADA’s ADEL online educational platform. Taking this course is absolutely essential for you if you are an athlete or athlete support personnel going to Tokyo 2020.

Read:

-  The IPC (International Paralympic Committee)’s anti-doping rules for Tokyo 2020 and the Tokyo 2020 Doping Control Guidebook.

- The IPC’s website page dedicated to athlete doping control at the Tokyo Games.

Participate in any Pre-Games anti-doping education programmes coordinated by your National Paralympic Committee (NPC) and/or National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO).

Follow the steps indicated in this Guide’s “Pre-Arrival To-Do List”.

Work closely with your team veterinarian before and during the Paralympics. The lead up to the competition is an important time for ensuring your horse is free from prohibited substances.

You can only access the stables at night if you are accompanied by an FEI Steward.

Veterinary Forms need to be filled in should your horse need treatment and permission must be granted by the Veterinary Commission before your horse is treated.

Horses cannot be treated in their individual stable/box during the Paralympics. Treatment boxes must be used unless the Veterinary Commission has given you permission otherwise.

Don’t be afraid of asking questions – there are many people on hand to help and advice and information is available on the FEI Clean Sport website.
