The "Laws and Regulations" workshop organized by the National Falcon Center in collaboration with the Saudi Anti-Doping Committee focused on anti-doping measures in falconry races. It revealed that caffeine metabolites have been the most frequently detected substance in recent times. Dr. Mohammed Al-Anzi explained that doping substances do not enhance strength or speed as commonly believed; instead, they pose health risks including organ damage, weakened immune system, shortened falcon lifespan, and they violate principles of fair competition. The workshop reviewed the list of prohibited substances, which is continuously updated and reviewed, as well as the penalties, which include disqualification from awards if doping is proven. The participants were also informed about the sample testing procedures to ensure the confidentiality and independence of results. This program is part of awareness efforts linked to the International Falcon Auction, aimed at protecting the health of falcons and ensuring fair play in competitions.
