Running on a 'clean track'—A letter to fellow runners: Anti-doping knowledge and safe medication reminders

Dear runner friends,

With the rapid development of marathons and road running in China, more and more people are joining this challenging and passionate sport. Whether professional athletes or ordinary runners, everyone is sprinting the track, striving for better results and better health. However, we have also seen some worrying phenomena—some runners, due to a lack of anti-doping knowledge, have committed intentional or unintentional doping violations, not only causing unnecessary trouble in their lives but also potentially leading to bans and financial penalties, affecting their athletic careers and reputations.

Don't think that anti-doping is only about high-level athletes. As long as you stand on the track, ordinary runners are also 'athletes' in the event and are covered by anti-doping in the event. Anti-doping organizations have the authority to apply anti-doping rules to all athletes participating in sports competitions. Therefore, for ordinary runners, understanding anti-doping knowledge and medication safety is also crucial. This not only concerns the fairness of the race but also directly affects our health. The incorrect use of drugs or supplements of unknown origin may lead to irreversible consequences.

Therefore, to help everyone pursue their goals in a healthy and fair way, and to enjoy the joy and achievements that sports bring, we want to offer you some professional advice and reminders to help you better understand anti-doping knowledge and ensure your sports safety:

1. Understand and comply with anti-doping rules

'Doping' refers to the collective term for the banned substances and methods listed in the Prohibited List published annually by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Anti-doping organizations have the authority to apply anti-doping rules to all athletes participating in sports competitions. Ensuring that no banned substances enter their body and not using prohibited methods is the athlete's personal responsibility. Intentional or negligent doping violations will be punished accordingly. Eleven acts such as possession and trading of stimulants constitute doping violations.

2. Pay attention to medication safety

Both Western and traditional Chinese medicines may contain substances listed in the 'Prohibited List.' If you need medical attention if you are ill, you should inform the doctor that you are an athlete. For daily medication, check the drug instructions or labels for a 'Caution for Athletes' warning, and also check the 'Athlete Safe Medication Inquiry System' for confirmation. If prohibited substances and methods are used for therapeutic purposes, an application should be made under the 'Therapeutic Medication Exemption Procedure.' Before participating, focus on verifying recent medication safety. When undergoing doping tests, the drug names must be truthfully filled in on the test form.

3. Choose and use nutritional supplements carefully

Using nutritional supplements carries risks; no institution can guarantee that any supplement is 100% safe. If nutritional supplements are necessary, please ask the seller for a certificate of compliance tested by the China Anti-Doping Center laboratory when purchasing. Avoid buying and using nutritional products of unknown origin or containing prohibited ingredients, and do not trust the special benefits of certain products advertised by merchants or individuals. If you undergo doping tests after achieving a ranking result, you must truthfully fill in the name of the nutritional product on the test form. Before participating, prioritize eating fish, seafood, eggs, and other foods, and keep relevant proof to prevent foodborne stimulant risks.

4. Actively cooperate with doping tests and investigations

High-level amateur athletes may request doping tests after the competition. Relevant athletes are asked to cooperate actively in completing sample collection. Refusal, evasion, or failure to complete sample collection may result in doping violations. If a positive test is found, active cooperation with the investigation is required, evidence and explanation of the situation should be provided, and false materials must not be provided; otherwise, penalties will be increased.

5. Raise awareness of self-protection

Using stimulants is harmful to health. Runners should always pay attention to their physical condition during the race. If they feel unwell, they should stop immediately and seek help from professional medical personnel. Never ignore your body's warning signals in pursuit of grades.

6. Supervision and Reporting

Doping is a cancer in sports. Doping issues not only violate the Anti-Doping Rules but may also violate the Criminal Law Amendment (XI) and the Judicial Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Doping Criminal Cases, potentially leading to legal liability. If you discover illegal or illegal doping activities by someone around you, you can report it to the China Anti-Doping Center. The investigation department will carefully investigate and handle the report, and the whistleblower's privacy and security will be strictly protected.

We hope every runner can participate in the race with a healthy, fair, and honest attitude, and enjoy the joy that sports bring. Let us work together to maintain a fair, just, and healthy competitive environment, allowing true heroes to shine on the 'clean track'!
