Clean Sport Commitment Statement

 

All sporting participants have the right to compete in doping-free sport (Clean Sport). Guernsey Triathlon adopts the UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) position that cheating, including doping, in sport is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport, undermining the otherwise positive impact of sport on society.

​

To this end Guernsey Triathlon Club commits to support Clean Sport in the following ways:

• The club supports the mission of UKAD and WADA in achieving Clean Sport.

• All athletes are expected to play, train and compete in line with the spirit of sport, including the Anti-Doping Rules.

• All coaches and athlete support personnel are expected to perform their role in line with the spirit of sport, including the Anti-Doping Rules.

• The club is committed to supporting the prevention of doping behaviour in collaboration with other sporting bodies.

• Club members will not condone, assist or in any way support the use of prohibited substances and methods (unless permitted by a Therapeutic Use Exemption) in any aspects of their work.

• Breaches of this, or any rules/policies referred to in the club’s own code of practice/conduct will be acted upon accordingly.

• Club members will be expected to contact UKAD should they become aware of an athlete or a member of a National Governing Body using or considering the usage of a prohibited substance or prohibited method. This contact should be done in confidence on the dedicated confidential Report Doping in Sport line – 08000 32 23 32

• The club will uphold any sanctions placed upon an athlete by UK Anti-Doping or other associated body in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code.

• The club encourages athletes to download the UKAD Clean Sport App, follow UKAD on Twitter and 100% Me on Facebook and Instagram and has information on clean sport and anti-doping matters on its website or links to UKAD’s website and the anti-doping section on its National Governing Body website

• The club proactively promotes a ‘Speak Out’ culture if any members have any suspicions of doping related behaviour

• The club makes new members aware when they join that they are under the jurisdiction of the anti-doping rules

• The club raises awareness of the risks associated with supplement use via links to UKAD’s supplement advice
