About WADA

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is an independent international organization established in 1999. It is funded equally by the world's governments and the sports movement. The organization is responsible for a range of activities including scientific research, education, developing anti-doping capabilities, and overseeing the World Anti-Doping Code, which seeks to standardize anti-doping policies worldwide. WADA is a Swiss-based foundation operating under private law. Its offices are located in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Montreal, Canada.

Why It Matters

As a federation affiliated with FIM Africa and WADA, MSFK is fully committed to clean sport. All MSFK riders, officials, and support personnel must comply with the WADA Code and the substances listed in the 2025 Prohibited List.

    • Always inform your team doctor or MSFK medical advisor if in doubt.

    • Failure to comply can lead to bans, even if unintentional.
