ISKA rules
Part 1: General
Doping
It is not permitted to apply any substances to boost the performance, if such substance is banned by one of the appropriate organisations as a doping substance (IOC, Anti-Doping Agency, National Olympic Committee, WADA etc.).
ISKA, the IRC, the tournament promoter and the official doctor can and may perform controls. Where the local law dictates it, also other qualified and authorised organisations and persons may perform such controls.
Fighters that intentionally avoid or evade such controls, or which obstruct or manipulate them in any way, can be disqualified and banned for a time period to be determined by the IRC.
Privacy, especially of kids and female competitors has to be respected. Doping controls have to be made by a qualified person of the same gender. Where this is not possible, a member of the IRC of the same gender supervises the collection of the test sample.
