Legal Analysis Related to The Use of Doping In The 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games
Case Study: Indra Gunawan and Guntur Pratama Putera
Abstract
This article discusses the legal aspects of doping use in the 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games (AIMAG), focusing on the case study of two Indonesian athletes, Indra Gunawan and Guntur Pratama Putera, who were found to have used prohibited substances. The aim of this study is to analyze the legal basis applied in handling doping cases at the international level and to evaluate the enforcement mechanisms of anti-doping regulations by relevant institutions, including the Indonesian Olympic Committee and the Indonesian Anti-Doping Organization (LADI). The research adopts a normative juridical approach through literature review and document analysis. The findings indicate that the doping violations committed by the two athletes were in breach of the World Anti-Doping Code (WADA Code), which has been adopted into national regulations. Moreover, the study reveals challenges in sanction enforcement and in restoring the athletes' reputations, as well as the need for better coordination among institutions in prevention and enforcement efforts. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening anti-doping regulations and continuous education for athletes and sports stakeholders to foster fair and doping-free competition.
