Coaches have a responsibility to ensure that all involved at their club know their rights and are aware of the anti doping rules under which they compete. Coaches must understand and value the purpose of the drug testing programme and should be aware of all the services available to enable them to guide those that they coach.

The anti-doping programme for the UK is led by UK Sport and they are responsible for improving the education and promotion of ethically fair and drug-free sport. It is advised that all coaches take a look at the UKSport website for further information.

Information and guidance on drug-free policies and procedures is available for sports personnel, athletes and coaches, as well as a Drug Information Database which allows you to search for the status of a licensed pharmaceutical product available in the UK.
