Doping control
Doping control in badminton, in accordance with BWF Anti-Doping Regulations, is conducted out-of-competition and in-competition with the collection of urine and/or blood samples. Athletes are responsible for any substance found in their body.
Before an athlete takes any medication, they should check with their doctor and, if necessary, get a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). More information: BWF anti-doping overview.
Badminton integrity
Section 2.4 of the BWF Statutes, Code on The Prevention of The Manipulation of Competitions, relates to anti-corruption and anti-match manipulation and applies to all participants at this tournament.
Participants are not allowed to bet in any way on badminton matches, must respect fair play, and must not attempt to influence the course or result of a game or match. Every person has an obligation to report approaches to gather inside information or change the outcome of matches. More information: BWF anti-match-fixing overview.
Ranking validity and entry responsibility
In accordance with BWF Statutes, Section 5.3.3.2: World Junior Ranking System, an event must contain at least eight competitors in the first published version of the main draw. If this number is not met, that event shall not count towards any ranking.
An event must also contain at least one entry from a Member other than the hosting Member in the first published version of the main draw. Badminton Europe is not liable for costs incurred by third persons because of an event not having enough competitors to count for rankings.
