BBU
ADOPTS NEW UK ANTI DOPING RULES
The
30 Jun 2005 BBU Anti Doping Rules which were effectively the "Model
Anti Doping Rules of UK Sport" have been updated and slightly
amended. For ease of future amendment and reference to all UK
sports, the words "BBU" and / or "British Biathlon Union" have
been replaced with reference to "NGB" and / or "National
Governing Body". The new UK Rules come into effect for the BBU
on 30 Jun 2009.

all Medical and Doping Updates.
As always,
we
emphasise the fact that
"ignorance is not an excuse". It is a personal matter for all
athletes & support staff, whether they are an Olympian or a novice to be aware of the
current banned list and the issues of
drug, doping, blood and gene
testing. National Squad athletes who are unclear should arrange
through their coaches to discuss issues with the OMI. Regimental &
Club athletes should contact their RMO / GP in the first instance.
But remember - many GPs and Military Doctors are not experts on
WADA. As ever, the
onus is
on the athlete and the punishments for failing a test are severe -
especially for serving military athletes.
IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE! |
