Anti-Doping Rules
World Curling is committed to the eradication of doping from sport and to protect clean athletes. Doping can be harmful to an athletes health, damages the integrity of sport, and is morally and ethically wrong.
All athletes participating in World Curling competitions must abide by the Anti-Doping Rules.
The latest World Curling Anti-Doping Rules 2021 came into effect on 1 January 2021.

Sanctions
Pursuant to the World Anti-Doping Code regarding Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRV), the table below lists the individuals currently either serving a provisional suspension or a period of ineligibility as a consequence of an ADRV under the World Curling Anti-Doping Rules.
The summary only contains cases over which World Curling has results management authority. Therefore, the information below does not necessarily provide an exhaustive overview of all the sanctions imposed in relation to curling, insofar as other Anti-Doping Organisations may have imposed sanctions on the individuals under their own rules.
