Drug-Free Sport

Athletes are influential role models.

UK Sport, as part of its overall sporting excellence remit, is committed to promoting ethically fair and drug-free sport, with the aim of producing sportsmen and women who are competing and winning fairly.

As the country's national anti-doping organistion, UK Sport is responsible for the implementation and management of the UK's anti-doping policy. As part of this, UK Sport co-ordinates the UK's testing programme, which in the past year saw more than 7,000 tests carried out across almost 50 sports. The results of the testing programme are published quarterly and made available on this website.

In addition, UK Sport provides British athletes and their support personnel with a number of services and resources to help them make the right decisions about what substances they can and cannot use. Through its 100% ME campaign, launched in May 2005, UK Sport provides a platform for athletes to celebrate their successes as drug-free competitors, and encourage the next generation of sporting champions to get involved, and enjoy, clean and fair sport.
