| Summary: | Indonesian weightlifters have great potentials to get a lot of achievements. But unfortunately, WADA had ever found a sample of Indonesian weightlifter which doping’s positive. Those great potentials can be more optimal if athletes had a deep and comprehensive understanding of doping. Therefore, the aim of this research was to analyze the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about doping in weightlifters, analyze factors that might be assosiated with KAP, as well as explore and assess the needs of anti-doping education for weightlifters. This research was an observational cross-sectional study involving 38 weightlifters from four districs and cities in West Java. WADA’s anda previous studies’ questionnaire were used as the instruments with language modification. The instruments in Indonesian were tested for their validity and reliability using Rasch Analysis, Pearson Product Moment, and Cronbach’s alpha. Meanwhile, the methods used for inferential analysis were the Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test, as well as the correlation test with Spearman’s rank. Respondents’ knowledge about doping were high (28,95%), sufficient (44,74%), and low (26,32%). All respondents had negative attitudes and poor practices towards doping. The history duration of practicing weightlifting and income had a statistically significant association with KAP. In contrast, gender and bodyweight categories did not associate significantly with KAP. The attitude dimension was negatively correlated with knowledge (r = -0,324, p < 0,05) and with practice (r = -0,378, p < 0,05). Meanwhile, the practice dimension was positively correlated with knowledge (r = 0,205, p > 0,05).
