At the WBF Executive Council meeting held in October 2008 in Beijing, the WBF (the Bridge International Federation [IF]) accepted the revised 2009 Anti-Doping Code from WADA (the World Anti-Doping Agency).
The WBF has adopted new Anti-Doping rules based on the revised Code. These rules were approved by WADA on 27th January 2009 and are in force as of that date.
Bridge players should note that there is no requirement to sign declaration form given at the end of the WBF Anti-Doping Rules.
Players in the Open and Women’s Teams at the 2009 World Bridge Teams Championships in Brazil will be liable for Anti-Doping Tests. Any players requiring exemption certificates should ensure that they complete the TUE form and return it to the address given on the document as soon as possible and no later than 21 days before the commencement of the competition in which they are participating.
