Anti Doping Program

The Canadian Anti-Doping Program

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) is the custodian of the Canadian AntiDoping Program (CADP), the set of rules that govern anti-doping in Canada. The CADP consists of several components such as in- and out-of-competition testing, education, medical exemptions and the consequences of doping violations. The CADP is compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code and all international standards.

Cricket Canada has adopted the CADP which means that you can be confident that you are part of a world-class anti-doping program that is designed to protect athletes’ rights and ensure a level playing field. Cricket Canada’s anti-doping policy and code of conduct reflect and support the CADP.

While the CCES administers anti-doping for the Canadian sport community, you may also be subjected to the rules of International Cricket Council (ICC).

As a member of Cricket Canada, the CADP applies to you! It is important to know that by participating in activities sanctioned by Cricket Canada, you may be selected for doping control

Important Information

The CCES recommends that athletes take the following actions to ensure they don’t commit an inadvertent anti-doping rule violation:

Always comply with a testing request if you are notified for doping control.
Check all medications and products before taking them to ensure they do not contain ingredients that are banned.
Verify your medical exemption requirements.
Do not take supplements, but if you do, take steps to minimize your risk.
