Introduction
Doping prevention is based on various targeted actions, intended for sportspersons at all levels and their
environment. One of these doping prevention actions is ensuring that people participating in sport
activities, either during training or competition, do not ingest doping substances through their diet, in
particular by means of food intended for sportspeople and food supplements.
This document has been designed to provide manufacturers with a framework to minimize the risk of the
presence of prohibited substances in food intended for sportspeople and food supplements. Such a risk
cannot be eliminated entirely, and no company should be making claims to this affect, however there are
a number of processes companies can put in place to reduce the risk of the presence of prohibited
substances.
Indeed, in a context of trade globalization and the underlying development of transnational ordering on
the Internet, it is now possible for sportspeople to order and import foods from countries outside the
European Union (EU). In addition, various studies show that food intended for sportspeople and food
supplements may contain doping substances resulting from unintentional contamination or voluntary
additions of substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency [4], may give positive results in anti-
doping tests and can induce adverse effects for health. Given the side effects of doping substances on
health, which is one of the criteria for their prohibition, the prevention of doping by contamination of
foods intended for sportspeople and food supplements is an important public health issue. This issue
concerns all sportspeople, including recreational sports practitioners.
Various publications addressing contamination of food intended for sportspeople and food supplements
highlight the presence of prohibited substances (mainly anabolic agents, or stimulants). These substances
are included in the Prohibited List published and revised annually by the WADA [4]. Such substances are
harmful to health causing mainly cardiovascular adverse effects, such as myocardial infarction,
arrhythmia or coronary artery disease, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, etc.
This document falls within the framework of the measures laid down at international level by the Council
of Europe and by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
respectively:
— the Council of Europe's Anti-Doping Convention of 1989 [5] of which Article 4 provides for the
possibility of adopting administrative measures to restrict the availability of doping agents in sport;
— UNESCO's 2005 International Convention against Doping in Sport [6] of which Article 10 requires
that:
“States Parties, where appropriate, shall encourage producers and distributors of nutritional
supplements to establish best practices in the marketing and distribution of nutritional supplements,
including information regarding their analytic composition and quality assurance.”
Manufacturers applying this document are strongly encouraged to comply with the requirements of other
standards, in particular those of EN ISO 22000 on food safety management [1] (which includes Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles) and as applicable those of EN ISO 9001 on quality
management [2].
Thanks to the support offered jointly by the CEN and by the interested parties in preparation of this
document, there is a clear emphasis on the importance of encouraging companies responsible for the
development and manufacture of food supplements and food intended for the sportspeople with the
intention of excluding the substances prohibited by WADA [4] and protecting consumers.
This document should work towards and support any other European, national laws or regulations in the
area of doping in sport.
Quality assurance can be improved by carrying out testing, audit, certification process, etc.
The following standard has been developed to promote good manufacturing practices specifically with
consideration to substances prohibited in sport.
