Sports federations look after the health of their members and to this end take the necessary measures, particularly with regard to training programmes and the calendar of competitions and sporting events that they organise or authorise.

They undertake prevention and education initiatives in conjunction with the Ministry of Sport or as part of the education programme defined by the French Anti-Doping Agency.

They provide information to licence-holders and their managers to prevent the use of doping substances and procedures, with the support of the doping prevention medical units.

Training programmes for professional and volunteer managers working in sports federations, clubs, physical activity and sports establishments and sports schools include actions to prevent the use of doping substances and procedures and actions to educate against doping.
