ANTI-DOPING PROGRAMME

Drugs in sport is one of ‘the’ issues of the 21st Century

The most effective way to avoid any trouble with the ECB’s Anti-Doping Code is to be aware of what it says and what it covers. 

The ECB/PCA Education Programme has all the information you need to know about the Anti-Doping Code. If you have any questions, call or email Ian Smith (contact details below). There is no such thing as a stupid question in is this area, particularly as mistakes can have such serious consequences.

Please remember, the consequences of an anti-doping rule violation can be catastrophic – a first offence could get you banned from cricket for up to two years. Don’t get caught out.
