What happens if an athlete is found guilty of a doping infraction at NAIG?

The NAIG Council opposes the use of substances and methods banned by the international sport community. Random drug testing may be conducted at the Games using World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) methods if the Host Society has them available.

• A participant found guilty of a doping infraction during an event is immediately suspended from participation in the NAIG.
• The NAIG Council decides any further disciplinary action. The decision is guided by holistic healing principles traditional to Indigenous peoples, while following WADA rules on suspensions.
• Competitive results from the date a positive sample is collected are invalidated, for individual and team events. Scoring, rankings, placings and awards are adjusted and re-awarded as required.

The Host Society must give each team the most up-to-date WADA list of banned substances.
