Supporting athletes
Your role in clean sport
We all have a duty to protect clean sport. Athlete Support Personnel, Coaches, Parents and Carers of young athletes are vital to helping us ensure that sport is clean. UK Anti-Doping’s education and information programmes can support you in your career to ensure you and your athletes engage in sport in line with the values of clean sport, and the Anti-Doping Rules.
Remember the Anti-Doping Rules do not just apply to athletes. They apply to support personnel, too.

Learn how parents, carers and guardians can get involved in a child’s career and be a great support along the way.

nurture athletes
Coaches most likely know their athletes better than anyone else, and have a special role in developing their career in clean sport.

Get informed and educated on essential anti-doping practices for Athlete Support Personnel. There is no place for ignorance in anti-doping.
