Clean Sport Week is UKAD’s national awareness week, which runs from 23 – 27 May and champions clean sport, education and anti-doping initiatives with sports across the UK.
The theme for this year’s campaign is “what you see is 100% me” as we all want to see 100% hard work, determination and respect for the rules from athletes competing on the world stage. So, alongside UKAD, we are making it our mission to ensure all our athletes are ready for the upcoming Commonwealth Games and can say with confidence “what you see is 100% me” when turning up to compete this summer.
In the build up to Birmingham 2022 and Clean Sport Week, we have been working with UKAD to complete the Assurance Framework, which National Governing Bodies must do to show they are meeting their anti-doping responsibilities. In addition, we are ensuring all our athletes are prepared for the Commonwealth Games by taking part in UKAD’s 100% me education programme and by inviting them to attend the Clean Sport Week webinar on Tuesday 24 May, which is open to all and will look at important anti-doping topics and advice for preparing for a Major Games.
BE works closely with UKAD to ensure players competing in the NBL, WNBL, Jr. NBA, plus the BBL and WBBL are aware of the responsibilities of competing clean and that they may be subjected to drug testing by UKAD at any time of the season.
We also encourage anyone in our sporting community that would like to learn more about anti-doping to sign up to UKAD’s free new Introduction to Clean Sport course via its website, here.
