that all members of ENGSO should accept the World Antidoping Code as the basis for the fight against doping in sport throughout the world, and work for the implementation of it within their own National Organisation

that they activate themselves in informing and educating their National Sport Federations about the aim and contents of the Code and about their respective responsibilities

that they actively contribute in increasing the number of national tests, mainly so called “out of competition tests”

that they through information, education and campaigns take strong action against doping – all in order to change the attitude and behaviour when it concerns doping in sport

that they recommend their governments, if they have not yet signed “the Copenhagen declaration on Anti–Doping in sport 2003”, to do so as soon as possible, to support the implementation, and 

Finally expressed that:

“The Antidoping work is a crucial question for the future of sport – a question of the Credibility of Sport”
