Know the rules
Anti-doping rules apply in and out of competition. Athletes and support personnel should complete appropriate education before major events.
UGANDACLIMBING
CLIMB
CLEAN.
Fair competition. Informed athletes. No shortcuts.
PROTECT THE
ATHLETE AND
THE SPORT.
Uganda Climbing supports clean sport and the implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code and applicable Ugandan anti-doping rules.
Our role is to help athletes, coaches, parents and medical personnel understand their responsibilities, find current official information and seek qualified advice early.
Check every medicine
Tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are an athlete. Check the current Prohibited List before using any medicine or method.
Treat supplements carefully
Supplements may be contaminated or incorrectly labelled. No product can be guaranteed free of prohibited substances.
Plan a TUE early
If medically necessary treatment is prohibited, seek Therapeutic Use Exemption advice before competition whenever the rules require it.
WHAT ENTERS
YOUR BODY
MATTERS.
Under anti-doping rules, athletes can be responsible for a prohibited substance found in their sample. A prescription or honest mistake does not automatically prevent a violation.
Always use the most current official guidance. The Prohibited List changes at least annually, with updates normally taking effect on 1 January.
