The FIVB's Anti-Doping program seeks to preserve the spirit of Volleyball, Beach Volleyball and Snow Volleyball, maintain ethics, fair play and honesty and the health of the players. As doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport, FIVB wants to keep a clean and level playing field. One of the main aims is to educate Volleyball, Beach Volleyball and Snow Volleyball players on Doping Prevention as well as informing them on their rights and responsibilities regarding this matter.
This section contains the most relevant rules and regulations concerning Anti-Doping in order for the players to know their rights and responsibilities regarding this subject.

Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)
Athletes with medical conditions competing in FIVB and continental competitions must obtain a TUE from the FIVB regardless of whether they have previously received a TUE at the national level. The application for a TUE must be made as soon as possible (in case of an Athlete in the Registered Testing Pool, this would be when he/she is first notified of his/her inclusion in the pool) and no later than 30 days before the Athlete’s participation in the event. To obtain a TUE, fill out the M-8 Form in print or type and send it to the FIVB enclosing all relevant medical files.
The Prohibited List
The List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (List), is the International Standard that designates what is prohibited in- and out-of competition. The List also indicates whether particular substances are banned in particular sports. Substances and methods are classified by categories (e.g. steroids, stimulants, gene doping). The List is updated annually, published by October 1 and comes into effect on January 1 of the following year.

Doping Control
Athletes might get tested anytime and anywhere without previous notice, no matter if they are included in an FIVB Registered Testing Pool (RTP) or not. Generally we distinguish In-competition testing and Out-of-competition testing. Click on WADA's Doping Control video to get an explanation of the entire procedure :
This video is also available in Arabic, French, German, Greek, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish and can be accessed on WADA's movies channel.
Be aware: Refusing, or failing without compelling justification, to submit to Sample collection after notification as authorized in applicable anti-doping rules or otherwise evading Sample collection is considered as an anti-doping rule violation.
FIVB Medical & Anti-Doping Regulations
Medical & Anti-Doping Rules, are rules governing the specificities for Medical issues and the Anti-Doping Regulations provided by the WADA Code.

In addition, WADA's International Standard for Testing (ISTI) foresee procedures which assure and maintain the integrity of testing and identity of samples, from notifying the athlete to transporting samples for analysis, as well as regulations on Whereabouts requirements in order to conduct unannounced out-of-competition testing and investigations.

Results Management – Player's rights
Results Management is the process that deals with possible Anti-Doping Rules Violations (ADRV), starting from the reporting of an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF), also called positive test – when the laboratory reports the presence of a Prohibited Substance or evidence of the use of a Prohibited Method in a sample after analysis – until the final sanctioning of an athlete.
The above WADA doping control video also includes the Results Management process. Once informed of an AAF, the Athlete has the following rights:
To request for the B sample to be analyzed and to attend himself or via his representative the identification, opening and analysis of the B sample;
- To request copies of the A and B Sample laboratory documentation package;
- Right of a fair and timely hearing
- The right to appeal FIVB's decision which may be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)
