Every athlete has the right to compete in clean and fair sport. Doping, match fixing, illegal betting and corruption are threats to the integrity of sport. These threats risk the future of sport.

The decisions made by players, coaches and technical officials today will affect badminton’s future. Their actions need to protect the integrity of badminton.

BWF’s “i am badminton” integrity campaign is about players, coaches, technical officials and administrators working together to protect our sport from threats like doping, match fixing, illegal betting and corruption.

The BWF anti-doping and anti-match fixing programmes are designed to educate players / the entourage, monitor, conduct testing and investigate any possible cases of doping or match fixing in badminton.
