The IOF provides consultation and directives on medical matters for member federations and athletes to ensure the safe and fair practice of the sport.
Consultation is primarily provided via the IOF Medical Commission. The Commission comprises members with Sports Medicine expertise and keeps updated on developments in the international sports community. The Medical Commission has a specific role in assisting the Anti-Doping Officer in developing and maintaining adherence to the IOF Anti-Doping Rules and the World Anti-doping Code.
