Preface

At the INBA Congress held on 10/11/2003 in New Zealand, INBA accepted the World Anti-Doping Code (the "Code"). These Anti-Doping Rules are adopted and implemented in conformance with INBA's responsibilities under the Code, and are in furtherance of INBA's continuing efforts to eradicate doping in the sport of Natural Bodybuilding. Anti-Doping Rules, like Competition rules, are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. Athletes accept these rules as a condition of participation. Anti-Doping Rules are not intended to be subject to or limited by the requirements and legal standards applicable to criminal proceedings or employment matters. The policies and minimum standards set forth in the Code and implemented in these Anti-Doping Rules represent the consensus of a broad spectrum of stakeholders with an interest in fair sport and should be respected by all courts and adjudicating bodies.

Fundamental Rationale for the Code and INBA's Anti-Doping Rules

Anti-doping programs seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. This intrinsic value is often referred to as "the spirit of sport"; it is the essence of Olympism; it is how we play true. The spirit of sport is the celebration of the human spirit, body and mind, and is characterized by the following values:

· Ethics, fair play and honesty
· Health
· Excellence in performance
· Character and education
· Fun and joy
· Teamwork
· Dedication and commitment
· Respect for rules and laws
· Respect for self and other participants
· Courage
· Community and solidarity

Doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport.

Scope

These Anti-Doping Rules shall apply to INBA, each National Federation of INBA, and each Participant in the activities of INBA or any of its National Federations by virtue of the Participant's membership, accreditation, or participation in INBA, its National Federations, or their activities or Events.
