title: [World Football Championship 2006--anti-doping regulations].
abstract: On the basis of the current anti-doping requirements for the World Cup, major processes and regulations are explained. Over and beyond the area of football, they are highly relevant for physicians responsible for the care and treatment of professional athletes. Apart from a knowledge of the respective current anti-doping list of banned substances, the administrative guidelines for the application to use notifiable substances must be complied with. In order to avoid errors resulting in serious consequences for athletes, the care-providing physician in professional sport must have immediate access to the necessary information on anti-doping regulations, and be familiar with the contact addresses of the respective anti-doping authorities.
