When it comes to anti-doping, not knowing is not an excuse! |
Clean Sport and Your ResponsibilityWhen athletes cheat to win by doping, then sport loses its integrity and clean athletes are robbed of their chance to compete on a level playing field. Everyone in sport has anti-doping responsibilities. Most important, you are responsible for any prohibited substance you use, try to use, or that is found in your body, no matter how it got there or whether you meant to cheat. |

Athletes should be aware of the classes of substances that are on the Prohibited List, and should be careful to check the status of any medication they consume to ensure that it won’t result in a positive test. |
