What We Do

Drug Free Sport NZ (DFSNZ) is New Zealand's sports anti-doping organisation that works to keep sport drug-free. 
DFSNZ is responsible for implementing and applying the World Anti-Doping Code.  Our priorities are enforcement, education, and influence.

Enforcement

Testing
Testing is one DFSNZ's core activities and is conducted both nationally and internationally. 

Investigating
DSFNZ seeks to identify, respond and investigate all information it receives on possible doping in sport. 

Education

Information
DFSNZ aims to inform and educate athletes about their role and their rights and responsibilities around anti-doping by providing information services, resources and education seminars.

Nurturing/Community
DFSNZ has created initiatives that are aimed at building a community of clean athletes who feel supported and encouraged to compete to the best of their ability and remain doping-free.  Some of the initiatives include Outreach Events, special events and media interaction.

Research
DFSNZ undertakes social research projects and stakeholder surveys to measure the trends in New Zealand sport and the effectiveness of our programmes.

Influence

DFSNZ is pro-active in trying to influence the World Anti-Doping Agency programme to ensure that it reflects the needs of the NZ sporting community.
