The Estonian Athletic Association (Estonian: Eesti Kergejõustikuliit) is the governing body for the sport of athletics in Estonia.

An Estonian athlete, Nikolai Vedehin, was accused of doping by The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). He was temporarily banned from competing in any events. Nikolai was found to have the forbidden substance Trimetazidine in his urine sample, which was taken in Kenya on February 5, 2015. Nikolai admitted to taking the drug but claimed he was not aware that it was prohibited while he was not competing. This was a statement he gave in writing when he provided the original urine sample. The president of the Estonian Athletics Association, Erich Teigamagi stated that it was difficult to examine the matter substantively at the time as Nikolai was not in Estonia at the time. Nikolai notified the Estonian Athletics Association that he was ready to cooperate with them in the probe.

In another statement Erich Teigamagi said "Together with the IAAF, the World Anti-Doping Agency and Antidoping Estonia are working consistently to combat banned substances and methods. The Estonian Athletics Association is working closely with IAAF and Antidoping Estonia."
