Plans for a new National Anti-Doping
Organisation Confirmed

Gerry Sutcliffe Minister for Sport, Department for Culture Media and Sport

UK Sport/DCMS Press Release - 04/02/2009

Minister for Sport, Gerry Sutcliffe, confirmed plans for the new National Anti-Doping Organisation today.

* New NADO to be open for business by the end of 2009
* 60% increase in UK’s anti-doping budget to allow major strengthening of powers
* “Clear statement of intent” ahead of London 2012

Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe confirmed today that plans for a new National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) have been finalised and the new body will open its doors by the end of the year. The new NADO, provisionally titled ‘UK Anti-Doping’, will take on existing testing and education responsibilities from UK Sport, whilst also being granted significant new powers to ensure Britain is best-placed to tackle doping in sport in the run-up to London 2012 and beyond.

Recommendations for the new NADO were first made by UK Sport’s Board in December 2007 in recognition of the need for centralised case management of doping cases and greater links with law enforcement agencies, functions that necessitated the need for separation from UK Sport.

Speaking at UK Sport’s National Anti-Doping Conference at Lord’s Cricket Ground, Gerry Sutcliffe said: “The global fight against doping in sport has shifted and the move to a new, stand-alone NADO reflects that change. The NADO will build on the excellent work of UK Sport which has established us as a world leader in the field.

Action Against Steroid Abuse and GHB Type Drugs

People who take drugs to enhance their physical appearance, including those who aspire to take part in the 2012 London Olympics, are being warned against using anabolic steroids as the Government today announced its intention to add a further 24 anabolic steroids and two growth promoters to the list of those already classed as Class C drugs.

These drugs are already banned by sports authorities but they are not illegal at present.

The Government recognises the harms associated with the use of anabolic steroids and today’s move is to ensure that our drug controls are up to date, with the latest evidence of harms and availability of this group of drugs. These controls continue to be aimed at suppliers and traffickers who profit from selling and supplying these substances. >>> more >>>
