[The fight against doping: international and national efforts as exemplified by the Convention of the Council of Europe and the doping regulations of the Swiss National Association for Sports].

The international and national efforts to flight doping in sports are shown by the examples of the Anti-Doping Convention of the Council of Europe and the regulations of the Swiss Association of Sports. Major efforts are made in the fields of education and information, search for and application of optimal methods for training and care as well as dope-controls at and out of competitions. The harmonization of the anti-doping regulations and the disciplinary procedures that have to follow the principles of natural justice are considered to be important. The Swiss regulations allow, at variance with international customs, to treat injured athletes therapeutically with doping-substances.
