Morphology

anti-doping = doping (transparent) = anti + dope + ing

The word is built directly from anti- plus doping, and the meaning is straightforwardly against doping in sport.

Etymology

Anti-doping combines anti- ('against') and doping (from 'dope', meaning 'a drug that helps performance'). So anti-doping describes rules or actions that are 'against' the use of banned drugs in sport.
