Anti Doping

Sport is governed by a set of anti-doping policies, rules and guidelines called the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code). The Code is the basis of the World Anti-Doping Programme and it aims to harmonise the anti-doping rules governing all athletes, athlete support personnel and sports organisation in all countries. A fundamental principle of the Code is to protect the rights of all athletes that are committed to competing in sport cleanly and fairly.

The UK’s National Anti-Doping Policy sets out UK Sport’s commitment to the World Anti-Doping Code, and outlines the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in the anti-doping process. Through the Policy, UK Sport aims to:

• Protect athletes and other participants in sport in the UK;
• Promote doping-free sport in the UK;
• Establish consistent standards of anti-doping policy, testing and education across the UK;
• Encourage and build upon national and international harmonisation of anti-doping in sport

The Camanachd Association have recognised the significance of this ethical policy and have signed the UK Sport Anti Doping Agreement.
