ACU Anti Doping

Anti-Doping

The ACU believes that competitors have the right to compete in a fair and – so far as possible – safe environment.  We believe in a clean sport and work in partnership with our International Federation, the FIM (FIM Anti-Doping Code) and RACOO Screening Ltd (RACOO)  to ensure that the integrity of our sport is protected.

The ACU has in place a set of anti-doping rules that all officials, competitors and competitor support personnel must abide by. The FIM work in collaborating to protect National Governing Bodies (NGBs) from doping and ensuring that NGBs such as the ACU are compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency (Code), the core document that harmonises anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within sport globally.

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
