Drugs in Sport

"Drugs may create some physical benefits, but they don't enhance tactical awareness, or the strength of mind needed for top level competition." - Linford Christie 

"The fight against illegal drug-taking is really important for two reasons:

1. I believe athletes deserve the right to know they are competing on a level playing field, and

2. They should be able to prove their performances are fair and clean."

PAULA RADCLIFFE, MBE

“UK Athletics also actively promotes anti-doping education to athletes, coaches, parents and other parties.”
