Introduction
Doping is the process in which an athlete takes prohibited drugs or supplements in order to enhance performance. WSAHKC has a zero-tolerance policy to doping and works in conjunction with United World Wrestling and the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) to ensure Wrestling Union remains a clean sport.
| WADA is an international independent agency and the world authority on anti-doping measures, anti-doping research and anti-doping education. It was formed in 1999 to ensure athletes both Nationally and Internationally were dealt with in a consistent manner. |
