Anti-Doping Education Requirements – BWF Para Badminton World Championships
As you know, the HULIC DAIHATSU BWF Para Badminton World Championships 2022 will be hosted in Tokyo, Japan, 1 – 6 November 2022.
As per our Memo of 13 July 2022 (linked here), every player participating in the World Championships must complete an anti-doping education course before they arrive in Tokyo for the Championships. This is a mandatory requirement to compete at the HULIC DAIHATSU BWF Para Badminton World Championships 2022.
See below for how you can get ready. Please pass this information on internally in your organisation.
Read the below and start planning to work with your National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) and the BWF to complete this requirement before Monday 17 October 2022.
- Anti-Doping Information Session – Monday 25 July @ 8:00PM KL Time
BWF is hosting an online information session about how to complete anti-doping education activities before you get to Tokyo.
- Information session – Monday 25 July @ 20:00 (8:00PM) Kuala Lumpur time
- Register to attend – https://forms.office.com/r/T2q4JvZFFv
- This will help you plan your anti-doping education sessions for Para badminton players and support personnel (coaches / team managers) going to the Championships.
- This is similar to the information session for the BWF World Junior Championships BWF hosted (linked here) so if you attended that session on 20 June, and you are assisting the Para badminton players prepare for the Para Badminton World Championships, there is no need to attend again. Read the below and then plan for the anti-doping education programme for your Para badminton players going to Tokyo.
- Education Options – 3 choices
There are 3 options for you to consider to get ready and to make sure your players complete anti-doping education (see below).
The education can be face to face or an online course. If your players have completed an anti-doping course in 2022 we can recognise this if it meets the minimum standards, so they do not need to repeat this again.
| Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3 |
| Your NADO delivers the Education Course | e-Learning Course – ADEL | Recognising a Recent Anti-Doping Course |
|
o Contact your NADO
o Arrange for the NADO to deliver an anti-doping education session for your Para badminton Team / World Championships Team.
o This session must:
– Be delivered by a trained educator / anti-doping expert.
– Cover the 11 topics in the World Anti-Doping Code Clause 18.2.
o The delivery method can be face-to-face or virtual.
o The NADO must provide a certificate, or letter to the Member Association / Para sport organisation with these details 1) date of the course, 2) who was the educator delivering the course, 3) the names of the participants who successfully completed this course.
Then email the BWF Head of Integrity the confirmation from the NADO that the players have completed the course / education session.

Have any of your Para badminton players (who may be attending the World Championships) completed an anti-doping education course in in 2022?
If so, BWF may be able to recognise this and give credit for this, so no new education activity is needed before the World Championships.
The course must:
– Have been delivered by a trained educator / expert.
– Covered the 11 topics in the World Anti-Doping Code Clause 18.2.
Some of your players may have already completed the ADEL online Talented Athletes Education Programme or the ADEL online International Level Athletes Education Programme.
Contact the BWF Head of Integrity to get the course / anti-doping education activity approved as meeting the requirement for competing at the BWF Para Badminton World Championships.
