UK Anti-Doping

The UK Anti Doping (UKAD) is the national body responsible for ensuring that sports in the United Kingdom are free from doping. Established to promote fair play and integrity in sports, UKAD works closely with athletes, sports organisations, and other stakeholders to uphold the principles of clean sport.

UKAD’s core activities include:

• Education and Awareness: Providing resources and training to athletes and support personnel about the dangers of doping and the importance of maintaining a level playing field.
• Testing and Compliance: Conducting rigorous drug testing across various sports to ensure compliance with anti-doping regulations.
• Investigation: Investigating potential doping violations and enforcing sanctions against those who breach anti-doping rules.
• Partnerships: Collaborating with international anti-doping organisations, government bodies, and sports federations to strengthen the global fight against doping.

UKAD is committed to fostering a culture of clean sport, where athletes can compete fairly and without the influence of performance-enhancing drugs. The organisation believes in the power of sport to inspire and unite people, and it strives to protect the integrity of this vital aspect of society.

Through its comprehensive approach, UKAD aims to educate, test, and enforce anti-doping measures effectively, ensuring that all athletes have the opportunity to compete on an equal footing. The vision of UKAD is to create a sporting environment where doping is not tolerated, and athletes are empowered to achieve their best through hard work and dedication.
