Doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport.

Fundamental Rationale for the FEI's EADMC RULES

Anti-doping programs seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. This intrinsic value is often referred to as "the spirit of sport"; it is the essence of Olympism; it is how we play true. The spirit of sport is the celebration of the human spirit, body and mind, and is characterized by the following values:

• Ethics, fair play and honesty

• Health

• Excellence in performance

• Character and education

• Fun and joy

• Teamwork

• Dedication and commitment

• Respect for rules and laws

• Respect for self and other participants

• Courage

• Community and solidarity

FEI Medication Code

All treatments must be given in the best health and welfare interests of the horse.

Therefore:

• Every treatment must be fully justifiable by the medical condition of the horse receiving the treatment.

• Horses that cannot compete as a result of injury or disease must be given appropriate veterinary treatment. The Person Responsible must obtain advice from their treating veterinarian or team veterinarian prescribing a treatment and the necessary duration of treatment.

• No substance shall be given to any horse during or close to an event unless the appropriate FEI guidelines for medication authorization have been followed.

• A complete and accurate record of all treatments during or close to an event must be maintained.

Mission

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is the international independent organization created in 1999 to promote, coordinate, and monitor the fight against doping in sport in all its forms.

Composed and funded equally by the sports movement and governments of the world, WADA coordinated the development and implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code), the document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries.

Vision
WADA works towards a vision of the world that values and fosters doping free sport.

Priorities
WADA’s chief activities focus on seven areas emanating from the responsibilities given to the Agency by the Code and reflect the importance of a comprehensive approach to the fight against doping in sport:

Code Adoption, Implementation & Compliance: facilitating sport and government acceptance of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and its principles to ensure a harmonized approach to anti-doping in all sports and all countries; monitoring implementation of and compliance with the Code; working for the proper adjudication of results
Science & Medicine: promoting global research to identify and detect doping substances and methods; developing and maintaining the annual List of Prohibited Substances and Methods; accrediting anti-doping laboratories worldwide; monitoring Therapeutic Use Exemptions granted by stakeholders
Anti-doping Coordination: developing and maintaining the Anti-doping Development Management System (ADAMS), the web-based database management system to help stakeholders coordinate anti-doping activities and comply with the Code
Anti-Doping Development: facilitating the coordination of Regional Anti-Doping Organizations by bringing together countries in regions where there are no or limited anti-doping activities so that they can pool resources to implement doping control and anti-doping education
Education: leading and coordinating effective doping prevention strategies and education; assisting stakeholders in their implementation of anti-doping education programs
Athlete Outreach: educating athletes at major international and multi-sport events through direct one-on-one interaction with anti-doping experts, answering their questions about the dangers and consequences of doping; empowering stakeholders to implement high-impact athlete outreach programs
Out-of-competition Testing: contracting with stakeholders to help them fulfil their responsibility of no-notice out-of-competition testing
