As a result of the strict doping tests performed at the 11th World Karate Championship held on October 31-November 1 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) & JADA (Japan Anti-Doping Agency) accredited laboratory reported that no prohibited substances were detected, and that all samples were negative. The World Karate Organization will continue to further promote anti-doping activities around the world, and we ask for all of your understanding and cooperation in future activities.
