Default News flash: pilots are "allowed" to use supplemental oxygen

WADA is the world organization against doping in sport. In most
countries, anti-doping laws are in effect and implement the rules laid
out by WADA. That means that as gliding is generally considered a
sport, and WADA considers supplemental oxygen as doping, a pilot could
be prosecuted for using it, even if air rules make it mandatory. That
contradiction has now officially been dealt with.
