Beginning with the first event of the 2022-23 season, all Biathlon team staff members (including coaches, medical personnel and technicians) participating in any IBU event (Junior Cup, IBU Cup, World Cup) must hold a ‘Biathlon Integrity Certificate’ issued by the BIU.

The purpose of the certificate is to ensure that everyone dealing with athletes has a basic knowledge of integrity and anti-doping matters. They should also be aware of the influence their words and actions can have over athletes, and know their obligations under the IBU Integrity Code.

A certificate can be obtained by completing a short online course, which can be found here. The course is available in three languages (English, Russian and German) and will take between 45 and 60 minutes to complete.
