Clean Sport Week is UKAD’s national awareness week championing clean sport, education and anti-doping initiatives with sports across the UK.
This year’s theme is ‘Journey to the Podium and throughout the week, UKAD will be showcasing the importance of the clean sport journey through the lens of athletes and the elite sport community. Anti-doping should be a key part of every athlete and support personnel’s journey – it should never be an afterthought.
Clean sport is an essential part of our athletes’ journeys to the podium. It takes a lifetime of work, commitment and a network of support to help athletes perform at the very top. This effort can be taken away in a moment by doping.
Creating a culture of clean sport is essential for the health and welfare of our athletes and the integrity of all sports. We all have a responsibility to keep sport clean, to raise awareness of anti-doping and to celebrate the successes of athletes - through hard work, determination and by competing clean.
Clean Sport Week aims to shine a spotlight on athlete voices, hearing about the hard work, dedication and passion it’s taken to achieve their goals, all whilst ensuring clean sport is at the heart of that journey. You can hear these stories by following @ukantidoping on social media.
As an organisation, BU is fully committed to supporting and promoting clean sport in the UK and you can find out how we intend to do this on our website.
