ABOUT US

The Biathlon Integrity Unit is an operationally independent and specialised unit of the International Biathlon Union. It was established in order to ensure all of Biathlon’s stakeholders can have confidence that ethical issues in the sport will be addressed independently and expertly.

The Biathlon Integrity Unit handles all integrity-related matters in Biathlon, including anti-doping, ethical breaches and safeguarding issues, betting-related issues and any kind of competition manipulation/match-fixing. It protects the integrity of the sport by investigating and prosecuting violations; strengthening the capacity to prevent potential future wrongdoing; and ensuring the International Biathlon Union complies with its obligations under the World Anti-Doping Code, the IBU Constitution and the IBU Rules.


Our Vision

To protect the integrity of Biathlon and ensure a clean and trusted sport.

Our Mission

To earn the confidence, respect and support of the Biathlon family through the effective promotion and enforcement of the Integrity Code, and by consistently delivering education, investigation and anti-doping programmes at the highest level.
