Anti-doping regulations & vet
Since the race goes through Sweden, the Swedish anti-doping regulations apply!
As a starting point, all medications for dogs and doping of dogs and drivers are prohibited.
If a participant is caught with medication in the sled, that person risks being disqualified.
Many medicines also have withdrawal rules, i.e. they cannot be given within a certain number of days before a competition. For details on medication for dogs, more information is available at www.skk.se. In case of necessary medication that is allowed, please contact the referee and tell him before the competition so that there is no misunderstanding.
Please note that the Swedish doping regulations are stricter than the rules from the IFSS.
