As part of the IJF’s educational development plan, in the future every active judoka, coach or team official will be required to complete an anti-doping educational course in order to attend IJF World Judo Tour events.

This ruling will come into effect for the 2023 World Championships which are set to take place in Doha in Qatar, although dates have not been confirmed yet.

The first session in the series is an introduction to anti-doping and will give an overview of the system, rights and responsibilities, and anti-doping rule violations.

Doping control process will be covered in the second talk on June 7 with a focus on test procedures and athlete biological passports.

The third week sees medications, supplements, the prohibited list, and therapeutic use exemptions discussed before the principles and values of clean sport in week four.
