International Table Tennis Federation

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) is a sports club located in the Ouest lausannois region. Founded in 1926, the ITTF is committed to promoting fair play and combating doping in table tennis.

The use of doping substances or methods to enhance performance goes against the principles of fair play and can be harmful to athletes' health. It also undermines the integrity, image, and value of sports. In order to maintain the integrity of table tennis, the ITTF has implemented a comprehensive anti-doping programme that focuses on education, prevention, testing, and sanctions for those who violate the rules.

The ITTF encourages the entire table tennis community, including players, coaches, and officials, to participate in the anti-doping programme. They emphasise the importance of attending webinars hosted by the International Testing Agency (ITA) to gain a better understanding of the anti-doping regulations. These webinars are available in multiple languages, including Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish.

To further support the fight against doping, the ITTF has established the Reveal platform. This platform allows individuals to anonymously and securely share information about doping suspicions, helping to investigate and prevent anti-doping rule violations or criminal behaviour.

In addition to their focus on anti-doping, the ITTF organises various events and championships, including the World Table Tennis Championships and the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup. They also provide development programmes and support for athletes to enhance their skills and promote the growth of table tennis worldwide.

The ITTF is committed to promoting clean and fair competition, ensuring the integrity of table tennis, and providing a platform for athletes to showcase their skills on a global stage.
