Table Tennis Ireland has adopted the Sport Ireland Anti-Doping Rules, compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code. Doping is contrary to the spirit of sport – every player has a responsibility to keep our sport clean.
All TTI members are subject to the Anti-Doping Rules. Please read them, understand them, and know your responsibilities.
WADA publishes its Prohibited List annually. The 2026 list includes several changes players, parents and support personnel should know.

A TUE permits use of a prohibited substance or method only if medically required and with no unfair advantage. WADA defines the criteria.
