The anti-doping rules in Slovenia comply with those set by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the organization that defines the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code).

There are eight ways in which an athlete or support person can breach the Code, or commit an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.

In Slovenia, SLOADO’s role is to conduct the Results Management Process and to present information to the independent Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel about a potential violation of the Code. The athlete is then given the opportunity to have a hearing before a sports tribunal.

Sanction for violating anti-doping regulations may range from a reprimand to a lifetime ban. The period of ineligibility may vary depending on the type of anti-doping violation, the circumstances of an individual case, the substance, and the possible repetition of an anti-doping rule violation.
