Anti-Doping Education

Under Clause 17.2 of the BWF Anti-Doping Regulations, the BWF has selected the NSDF Royal Beach Cliff BWF Para Badminton World Championships 2024 as an event where players must complete anti-doping educational activities before they participate in the event in Tokyo.

This means that every player must complete an anti-doping education course before they participate. This is a mandatory requirement.
