The purpose of the Skating Integrity Unit is to prevent, detect, and address all forms of corruption and ethical misconduct that are a threat to integrity in order to create and ensure an ethical Skating environment that is safe, fair, equal, and honest for all participants.

Our purpose

The Skating Integrity Unit (IU) was established in accordance with Article 35 of the ISU Constitution 2025 to promote and implement the objectives set out in Article 3, paragraphs b), c), d), and h) and Article 4 of the Constitution and is mandated to:

a) maintain confidence in the integrity of ISU Sports, and the ISU’s commitment to take all reasonable steps necessary to protect that integrity, through the effective policing and enforcement of the ISU Code of Ethics and other relevant ISU Regulations; and 

b) as part of that effort, to ensure the ISU is always in full compliance with its obligations as a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code, with the IOC Code of Ethics, and with its other governance and ethical compliance obligations set out in this Constitution and the ISU Regulations.

The Skating Integrity Unit Regulations set out the specific duties and powers of the IU to implement its mandate.

The Skating Integrity Unit has operational independence and will address integrity matters such as doping, harassment and abuse, competition manipulation, corruption, and unethical conduct. Through education, best practice reporting follow-up, intelligence and investigations, and enforcement, the Skating Integrity Unit will protect athletes, Officials, Coaches, and others and contribute to creating safe training and competition environments for all.
