Foundation

Swiss Sport Integrity is a foundation under Swiss law. The foundation makes all strategic and operational decisions independently and autonomously. There are service agreements with the Swiss federal government and Swiss Olympic.

Our Principal Activities

  • Testing: Testing forms a significant part of our remit, and we conduct some 2,000 tests per year. These are undertaken by doping control officers who may be accredited either as full time, as either their full-time or part-time profession.
  • Reporting service and ethics violations: We process more than 200 reports of potential ethics violations or irregularities each year. We guarantee confidential treatment and consistent processing and, if necessary, launch an investigation procedure. 
  • Investigations: We foster a network of informants so that we are also able to track down and prove doping using non-analytical, intelligence-led methods. We also support the criminal prosecution authorities in their efforts to identify and prosecute violations of the criminal provisions of the Sport Promotion Act.
  • Training and Communication: Each year, we conduct well over 100 personal training sessions with more than 3,000 athletes and their support staff. In doing this, we provide training and information resources.
  • Applied Research: We collaborate with other organizations in order continuously to develop and enhance the technologies and procedures used to fight doping.
  • International Cooperations: We are active at the international level to harness shared knowledge and synergies and to advance the effectiveness, efficiency, and athlete-friendly nature of the rules of clean sport
