Learn all about doping with the Dopingautoriteit

The agreement between the Vechtsportautoriteit and the Dopingautoriteit (Dutch Anti-Doping Authority) is a step forward for our sports. It is important that everyone in the martial arts and combat sports knows what doping is, how a doping control works and how to prevent unintentionally ingesting prohibited substances. The Dopingautoriteit has developed learning material for this purpose.

On the website of the Dopingautoriteit you will find short courses with a concluding test. In a very accessible way, you learn everything about the anti-doping rules. After completing an e-learning module, you receive a certificate from the Dopingautoriteit. Participation is free of charge.

There is separate learning material for each target group:

– for talents at national (junior) level (Bronze)
– for talents who may take part in international (junior) competitions (Silver)
– for elite athletes at the highest level (Gold)
– for trainers/coaches at various levels (Trainer-Coach 3, Trainer-Coach 4, Trainer-Coach 5)
– for parents of young athletes (Basic and Advanced)
– for (para)medical support staff
– for sports administrators and officials

We recommend that everyone active in the sport makes use of this. All modules can be found here:

If the coronavirus measures allow it, the VA and the Dopingautoriteit will organise a number of information meetings across the country. We will inform you about these as soon as that is possible.
