ANTI-DOPING

Athletics Australia takes a position of zero tolerance toward doping in sport, and works closely with Sport Integrity Australia and the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) internationally to ensure a drug-free environment in athletics, and all sports.

We strongly encourage athletes to ensure that they are acutely aware of the most recent banned lists both here in Australia and around the world.

To ensure that you are 'in the know' we recommend following the link to the Sport Integrity Australia website. Take a look around and familiarise yourself with the website, and be sure to maintain ample knowledge about your responsibility in ensuring a drug-free competition environment.

For further information or clarification on anti-doping issues, medications or supplements, the prohibited list and Pure Performance education, all enquiries should be made to Sport Integrity Australia.
