Anti-doping guidelines (update 2026)

Since 2018, the IMSSC Board, in cooperation with the ISU Medical Committee, has worked to establish anti-doping guidelines tailored specifically to Masters Speed Skaters in both Long Track and Short Track disciplines.

All Masters skaters are strongly encouraged to read these guidelines carefully. They are especially important for athletes who use medications included on the WADA Prohibited List, as the document outlines the procedures and requirements needed to remain compliant with anti-doping regulations.

In addition, a companion PDF is available below, providing a clear overview of the anti-doping procedure applicable to Masters competitions.

If you have any questions or require further clarification, the IMSSC will be pleased to assist you. Detailed guidelines and supporting documents can be accessed through the links below.
