Scottish Target Shooting and Anti-Doping
The STSF has adopted the UK Anti-Doping Rules and as such prohibits the use of banned substances or methods of doping; we are signatories to the rules and regulations of the UK Anti-Doping Rules.
This means that all member associations and their competing athlete members are also obliged to abide by the UK Anti-Doping rules.
Please note: It is each athlete’s responsibility to ensure they are complying with the UK Anti-Doping Rules.
Below are a series of links to relevant links/websites:-
World Anti Doping Agency
www.wada-ama.org
The WADA website will give an athlete all the information needed in relation to doping, and includes the World Anti-Doping Code and the Prohibited List, which is a list of substances that are prohibited for athletes from using. There is also, amongst other information, guidance about Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), which can be obtained if an athlete needs a Prohibited Substance due to a medical condition.
UK Anti Doping in Sport
www.ukad.org.uk
This website is aimed at UK athletes. It has links to the WADA and the Global Drug Reference Online website, along with education for athletes including the UK Anti-Doping Rules, the UK Anti-Doping Policy, the process for obtaining a TUE and much more information.
A useful resource is the Anti-Doping Advice Card 2011
The 2011 UK Anti-Doping advice card was issued in January this year. The wallet-size document provides essential information about anti-doping from athlete/player anti-doping responsibilities to providing an overview of the sample-collection process. The card is available on the following link: www.ukad.org.uk/documents/advice-card-2011
