With the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 just three weeks away, athletes and their support personnel are fully focussed on the finishing touch of their preparations. So is the International Testing Agency with the independent Beijing 2022 anti-doping program it is managing on behalf of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
During the pre-Games and Games-time testing programs, the ITA is aiming for the best possible athlete experience during doping control and has therefor established the Chaperone and International Doping Control Officer Trainings to harmonise the control process.
Complying with anti-doping rules is a big responsibility for athletes. You train hard and you train to win. Your reputation matters and you want your hard work to be recognised. The ITA encourages all athletes to actively promote clean sport. For this purpose, we have compiled the most important and practical anti-doping information for athletes related to the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022.
We wish you the best of luck and fair competitions at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022.
For a quick overview of the doping control process, check out the Real Sport Lab. This pocket guide is available in the following languages:
Now that you got a refresher on the doping control process, you might have other questions about the testing program in Beijing. In case you missed the live session, the recording of the ITA Webinar – Beijing 2022 Anti-Doping Program below should answer all your questions. And if you still have anything that you want to ask us, don’t hesitate to email [email protected].
In case you have to take medication for health reasons you will have to apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). We have summarized the application process for you. Many more questions and answers you can find on our dedicated page Therapeutic Use Exemptions – Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022.
You can contact us to submit a TUE starting 2 January up to 20 February 2022.
Before 2 January 2022
You should follow the normal process and submit new requests to your IF or NADO. Pre-existing TUEs will follow the recognition process provided they are entered in ADAMS.
Between 2 January and 20 February 2022
All Athletes participating in the Olympic Winter Games should apply as a first resort to the ITA’s TUE office located in the polyclinic of the Olympic Village.
FOR SECURITY REASONS, NO EMAIL APPLICATIONS ARE ACCEPTED

With the ITA tutorials, we cover the most important topics and answer frequently asked questions from the anti-doping field. No need to read through long descriptions – just watch, listen and learn.
