In order to identify the target groups for whom anti-doping education is a priority, the French Anti-Doping Agency takes into account the level of practice of athletes and support staff, the sport discipline and the associated doping risks, as well as forthcoming sporting events. It also takes into account the annual testing programme provided for in 1° of I of article L. 232-5.
The target groups include at least national and international level athletes and their support staff, athletes who are members of the target group mentioned in article L. 232-15, athletes who have been subject to the suspension provided for in article L. 232-23, as well as people on the lists mentioned in article L. 221-2.
