Anti-Doping

The International Hockey Federation (FIH) supports the fight against doping in sport in all its forms. The FIH is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code. We are proud that hockey is free from the use of performance enhancing drugs and we aim to maintain this situation. The FIH has therefore adopted Anti-Doping Rules which are in full accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code. This part of the FIH website provides information about the Rules and their related procedures. More general information about anti-doping can be found on the WADA website.

FIH Medical Seminar Review 2014

On June 4th, 2014 all medical personnel, team doctors, physiotherapists and coaching staff were invited to a medical seminar at Hotel Bel Air in the Hague, covering many different topics such as nutritional strategies and hydration before, during and after a hockey match; the effectiveness and potential risks of food supplements; how to structure a safe and effective warm-up and coping with Delhi Belly.

The FIH Seminar “Nutrition and Health in Elite Hockey players”  which was opened by the FIH president Leandro Negre was big success and well received by the audience of medical staffs of the hockey teams during the Rabobank  Hockey World Cup, Sports physicians, Dieticians and others.  Several speakers from universities and medical institutes highlighted the items of Nutrial strategies; food supplements in the morning.
