Anti-Doping

Motorsport UK believes that competitors have the right to compete in a fair and – so far as possible – safe environment.

Motorsport UK operates an anti-doping programme in conjunction with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD). UKAD work in collaborating to protect NGBs from doping and ensuring that National Governing Bodies such as Motorsport UK are compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code.

Strict Liability

All competitors are solely responsible for any banned substance they use, attempt to use, or which is found in their system, regardless of how it got there and whether or not there was an intention to cheat.

Banned substances can be found in any of the following categories:

  • Prescribed medicines
  • Over-the-counter medicines
  • Recreational drugs
  • Performance-enhancing drugs

If you are unsure about any medicines or substances you are taking, please visit the Useful Resources.
