Anti Doping
The UK Anti-Doping advice card provides essential information about anti-doping from athlete/player anti-doping responsibilities to providing an overview of the sample-collection process. The anti-doping rules of British Orienteering are the UK Anti-Doping Rules published by UK Anti-Doping Limited (or its successor), as amended from time to time. Such rules shall take effect and be construed as rules of British Orienteering. (Board adopted 11th May 2011)
