In regards to the doping test at the 6th World Karate Championship in Weight Categories that was held in Astana, the Republic of Kazakhstan on July 1 (Sat.) and 2 (Sun.), 2017, we received a report from the Kazakhstan National Anti-Doping Agency and the doping analysis laboratory in Dresden, Germany which performed the tests, that as a result of fair and strict tests, all samples were negative, and that no prohibited substances were detected.
NPO World Karate Organization will continue its efforts to promote anti-doping activities, and we kindly ask for your continuous cooperation and understanding towards the matter.
