Integrity

    It’s the player’s responsibility to stay updated on prohibited substances and methods, as the list is revised annually. Athletes must adhere to the principle of strict liability, meaning they are fully accountable for what they ingest. Refusing or disrupting a doping test is not allowed, and violations can result in sanctions ranging from reprimands to a lifetime ban. Additionally, betting on basketball is prohibited, and any suspicion of match-fixing should be reported to FIBA. FIBA ensures a safe, respectful environment for all, prohibiting harassment, abuse, and any harmful behavior, with a moral obligation to report any misconduct.

    To learn more, a detailed explanation can be found in the sections below.

    Anti-doping

    Doping involves using prohibited substances or methods to gain an unfair advantage in sports. FIBA enforces strict anti-doping rules, and players must be aware of substances that could violate these regulations, even if consumed for medical or training purposes.

    Betting and Match Fixing

    As an athlete, you must comply with strict rules regarding betting and match-fixing, as your influence and access to insider information can compromise the integrity of the sport. Violating these regulations can lead to serious consequences, including sanctions and career damage.

    Abusive Behaviour

    Abusive behavior in sport includes any form of harassment, vilification, or abuse—physical, professional, or sexual—leading to potential penalties. This includes verbal, nonverbal, psychological, and sexual abuse, as well as cyberbullying, all of which violate FIBA's standards of respect and safety.
