ABOUT US
The Biathlon Integrity Unit is an operationally independent and specialised unit of the International Biathlon Union. It was established in order to ensure all of Biathlon’s stakeholders can have confidence that ethical issues in the sport will be addressed independently and expertly.
The Biathlon Integrity Unit handles all integrity-related matters in Biathlon, including anti-doping, ethical breaches and safeguarding issues, betting-related issues and any kind of competition manipulation/match-fixing. It protects the integrity of the sport by investigating and prosecuting violations; strengthening the capacity to prevent potential future wrongdoing; and ensuring the International Biathlon Union complies with its obligations under the World Anti-Doping Code, the IBU Constitution and the IBU Rules.
