Anti-Doping Rules for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has released its Anti-Doping Rules for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
IPC Anti-Doping Code - Anti-Doping Rules for the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
To promote and protect the integrity of sport and the health of athletes, the IPC, together with International Federations and the National Paralympic Committees established the IPC Anti-Doping Code.
Anti-Doping Rules for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
All athletes competing in London will be subject to testing as outlined in the Anti-Doping Rules, which have been drafted in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code and the List of Prohibited Substances and Methods.
The Rules will cover the period from the opening of the Athletes’ Village on July 16, until the day of the closing ceremony, Aug. 12.
These dates define what will be known as the ‘in-competition period’, which means that all substances and methods on the List are prohibited.
Furthermore, during this period all athletes will be subject to doping controls initiated by the IOC at any time or place, with no advance notice required to be given.

IPC Anti-Doping Code - Anti-Doping Rules for the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
The aims of the code, which is fully compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency Code, are:
- To protect the athlete’s right to participate in doping free sport and thus promote health, fairness and equality for athletes worldwide.
- To ensure harmonized, co-orindated and effective anti-doping programmes on the international and national level with regards to detection, deterrence and prevention of doping.
Anti-Doping rules, like Competition rules, are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. All participants (athletes and athlete support personnel) accept these rules as a condition of participation and are presumed to have agreed to comply with the IPC Anti-Doping Code.
