Definition of DOPING Doping is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the anti-doping rule violations set forth in Article 2.1 through Article 2.11 of the World Anti-Doping Code . An ANTI-DOPING RULE VIOLATION (ADRV) may be caused not only by a positive test result. There are 11 types of anti-doping rule violations.
