Anti-Doping

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has published the 2017 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods. This will come into force on 1^st January 2017.

WADA releases the List and its Modifications in advance so that all stakeholders – in particular players – have ample time to familiarise themselves.

You are reminded that Bowls England is a signatory to the UK Anti-Doping Rules and these regulations are in force. The onus is on you to check any medication. Failure to do so and a ‘positive’ anti-doping test being provided will result in severe disciplinary action.

Current anti-doping guidance can be found at www.ukad.org.uk/documents/uk-anti-doping-rules. This should be read through carefully.
