Anti-Doping Policy & Advice

At Canterbury Strength WLC we have a strict anti-doping policy.

​

We are required to report cases of doping to the UK Anti-Doping agency, due to strict rules against complicity, association with a person who has broken anti-doping rules, and covering up known cases of rule breaking. As members of the British Weight Lifting Association, the National Governing Body of the sport, we are bound by the rules created by the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code. All athletes who are members of BWL also need to know their roles and responsibilities when it comes to anti-doping. These are laid out in the document you can access below, and for any questions or concerns please contact Charlotte on 07508882703 or at canterburystrength@hotmail.com (with the subject line: anti-doping).

​

This means that we will not accept members who are known to use performance enhancing drugs or other banned substances and methods, and have the right to terminate the membership, and use of the facility of anyone who is found to break Anti-Doping rules. Please be aware that if we know of any person who is committing and Anti-Doping Rule Violation they will be reported to UKAD as per the World Anti-Doping Code.

​

This policy also extends to the use of illegal drugs.

​

Members of Canterbury Strength Weight Lifting Club will be asked to sign a copy of the anti-doping policy, complete with a declaration that they are not and will not break the rules outlined in our policy.
