Clean Sport
Anti-Doping in sport is critical to maintain the integrity and ethos that sport abides by on a global basis. In the UK we are particularly proactive when it comes to maintaining a drug free sport and UKA are at the cutting edge. UKA maintain up to date website content that provides comprehensive and accurate information for athletes (of all ages and levels), coaches, parents, medical support staff, officials and other members of the athlete’s support group that require access to appropriate information in order to understand and comply with the anti-doping regulations.
We are keen to provide simple, clear information to all our athletes and coaches and are committed to championing Clean Athletics within the athletics community in Wales.
Adrian Palmer, Clean Athletics Educator and Programme Manager
The Clean Sport section of the UKA website provides comprehensive information.
Why not do the Clean Athletics Module to keep up to date with current anti-doping rules, regulations and processes. If you are a licensed coach or leader you can use your UKA free module code to redeem free of charge until the 31st May.
Much of the information can also be provided in printed form free of charge - simply email enquiries@cleanathletics.org.uk with your contact details and your requirements, and they can send information out. Two other excellent websites are the UK Sport website www.uksport.gov.uk and www.ukad.org.uk Here you can find a variety of doping-related information and information which allows you to check the status of any medication which you may be using.

Checking Your MedicationMany medications available for common medical conditions, such as asthma or hayfever, may contain prohibited substances. You need to be aware that these are readily available in products prescribed by your doctor or bought over the counter in a pharmacy. The advice from UK Anti-Doping is simple - check every single substance or medication before you use it, even if you have used it before. It is also important to remember that medications bought abroad may contain different substances than those in the UK and you should always check before you take them. |
