ANTI-DOPING

WCBS Solidarity
Anti-Doping Fund

A clean sport for our Olympic future.

The WCBS Solidarity Anti-Doping Fund is an initiative aimed at strengthening the fight for clean sport within the world of billiards. By fighting doping we are not only creating a fair environment for billiards athletes, but working towards WCBS’ goal of seeing the billiard sports of carom, pool, and snooker represented at the Olympic level.

To be competitive on the global stage, we must also have an effective, universal anti-doping program that upholds the values of fairness and integrity.

While the doping risks in billiard sports may be relatively low, we must increase research, testing, and education. The WCBS Solidarity Anti-Doping Fund is designed to raise the necessary funds to address these issues.

We are building and expanding our anti-doping education efforts with a focus on empowering coaches and players, promoting World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) programs, and ensuring that fair play remains at the heart of our sport.

By supporting this fund, you help create a future where athletes compete in a clean, fair, and transparent environment, moving billiards closer to Olympic inclusion.
