Anti-Doping

UKA is the national governing body of the sport of athletics in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland under the jurisdiction of World Athletics and, for Para Athletics, the International Paralympic Committee.

In line with their commitment to anti-doping, we agree that the principles of integrity, fairness, equity and respect are key values which are essential to meaningful sporting success. The illicit use of Prohibited Substances and Methods wholly undermines these principles and may also damage the reputation of sport and the health of athletes.

Entrants to our events should be aware of their responsibilities and acknowledge awareness of the UKA anti-doping rules and by entering, will agree to the following statement:

I agree to be bound by the UKA Anti-Doping Rules and to submit to the authority of UK Anti-Doping in the application and enforcement of the Anti-Doping Rules. The UKA Anti-Doping Rules apply to entrants participating in the sport of Athletics, for 12 months from the date of entry, whether or not the licence holder is a citizen of, or resident in, the UK.
