Social media activities

If you're an organisation who works closely with elite athletes, speak to them about their advice for the next generation. Here are two activities using video and graphics that you can post on your social media throughout Clean Sport Week.

1. Video/graphic: What is your advice for the next generation?

Examples

My advice for the next generation is:

  • Speak to your coach about clean sport
  • Complete some anti-doping education through Get Set or UKAD’s Clean Sport Hub
  • Have a good support network around you that have your health and wellbeing in mind
2. Video/graphic: UKAD’s 100%me PRIDE values are Passion, Respect, Integrity, Determination and Enjoyment. Which is the most important value for children and young people? 

Examples:

My most important 100%me value / value is:

  • Integrity - because it’s about standing up for what you believe in
  • Showing respect – for your body, your competitors and the officials

Parent & carer resources

Caregivers are a huge influence in a young person’s life and can help inform their attitude and approach to sport. A good place to start in your support of young athletes is to read UKAD’s Parents and Carers Booklet available from our Parents and Carers information page.  

How to talk to your child / young person about clean sport

To help explain clean sport to young people, use these examples below as inspiration in your communications.

Primary school

“Sport is fun when we play fair. If we follow the rules and show our values, then we can inspire others... and have lots of fun with our friends.” 

Secondary school

“In order to play fair, we must follow the rules and believe in our natural ability. Look after your body and eat healthily, focusing on good nutrition, so you can compete naturally in sport.” 

Young athletes (talent pathway):

“Clean sport matters. Throughout your sporting journey, clean sport makes sure you and your competitors compete on a level playing field and that your sporting success is a result of hard work, determination and respect for the rules.”

“Cheating in any form undermines the spirit of sport and the efforts of clean athletes. Education at this stage of your career helps you to take responsibility for your actions, including what you eat and drink, and helps you understand the anti-doping rules that you are subject to.”

Graphic that reads "checking supplements" with image of supplements in the background

All athletes face the risks of inadvertent doping due to the use of supplements, as there is no guarantee that any particular supplement is free from prohibited substances.   

If you need to take supplements for any reason as an athlete, assess the risk, assess the need and assess the consequences - before you take them.

 Graphic reads "what is a Therapeutic Use Exemption?" with an image of a doctor in the background

There may be situations where an athlete has an illness or medical condition that requires them to use a prohibited substance or method.  

A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) permits an athlete to use an otherwise prohibited substance or method, for therapeutic purposes, whilst continuing to compete in their chosen sport.  At the point that you are prescribed with any medication (or purchase any medication over-the-counter), you should check the anti-doping status of that medication on Global DRO.  

If the medication or method of treatment you need is prohibited, then use the UKAD TUE Wizard online to find out when and how to apply for a TUE. 

You can learn more about TUEs and the TUE process from @ukantidoping by following the link⬇️

Graphic reads "what is Whereabouts?"


 

🗺️📍 Athlete whereabouts are an essential part of the anti-doping process, helping @ukantidoping to safeguard #CleanSport.  

The Whereabouts system allows UKAD and other testing agencies to test athletes with no advanced notice. It’s therefore vital that you keep your Whereabouts up to date and that you are where you say you will be! 

If you are asked to provide Whereabouts information and fail to do so or are not where you said you would be, you risk receiving a Whereabouts Failure and possibly a ban from sport. 

If you have questions about Whereabouts, you can find all the answers by searching 🔎 UKAD Whereabouts
