The present dissertation deals with the role of criminal law in combating doping, particularly focusing on the regulation of self-doping. The central question underlying this work is whether Switzerland should introduce a criminal offense for self-doping and what alternative approaches exist to ensure effective doping control. The legal foundations of anti-doping measures are presented, the criminal liability of doping under current law (de lege lata) is analyzed, and the penal provisions of the Sports Promotion Act (SpoFöG) are discussed in detail. In the final part of the work, the author presents various implementation options and, based on this, formulates a concrete draft revision (Art. 22a SpoFöG).
