Doping occurs when an athlete uses prohibited substances or methods to improve his or her results in training and competitions. This practice is forbidden for any athlete participating in a competition or sporting event, and anti-doping tests are regularly carried out. Of the over 241 thousand samples analyzed in 2021, around 0.65 percent reported an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF).
