Beyond Sports

Anti-Doping

MSFK is fully committed to clean sport. As a federation affiliated with FIM Africa and bound by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code, all MSFK riders, officials, and support personnel are required to comply with international anti-doping regulations at all times — in and out of competition.

Ignorance is not a defence. Every rider is personally responsible for any substance found in their body, regardless of how it got there. This page provides the information you need to compete clean and stay compliant.

About WADA

The World Anti-Doping Agency

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is an independent international organization established in 1999, funded equally by the world's governments and the sports movement. WADA is responsible for scientific research, education, developing anti-doping capabilities, and overseeing the World Anti-Doping Code — which standardizes anti-doping policies worldwide.

WADA is a Swiss-based foundation operating under private law with offices in Lausanne, Switzerland and Montreal, Canada. The WADA Code is updated periodically — all MSFK riders must comply with the most current version at all times.
