Update, 17.03.2020

Antidoping Switzerland decides on further measures to minimize the risk of infection with the coronavirus.

The staff of the Antidoping Switzerland office will work from home with immediate effect. Operations will continue as normal. Our reachability is ensured even under these circumstances. However, we thank you for your understanding if the response times become somewhat longer.

There will be no lectures or workshops until the end of June. The online offer with e-learning programs, videos and information sheets will replace prevention measures during this period.

Doping tests are still possible, but will be reduced and carried out with increased precautions to protect the doping control officers and the Swiss athletes.
