Anti-Doping

All athletes have the right to compete in sport knowing that they, and their competitors, are clean. 

The Scottish Sub Aqua Club (ScotSAC) believes in clean ‘SCUBA Diving’ and work in partnership with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and our International Federation to ensure that the integrity of our sport is protected.

The use of performance-enhancing drugs and other doping behaviour severely damages the legitimacy of sport and undermines the integrity of clean athletes. 

 

Anti-Doping Rules 
ScotSAC has in place a set of anti-doping rules that all athletes, coaches and athlete support personnel must abide by. The anti-doping rules for ScotSAC are consistent with the World Anti-Doping Code (2015 Code), which governs anti-doping internationally.

You can find the UK Anti-Doping Rules here.

The anti-doping rules of ScotSAC are the UK Anti-Doping Rules published by UK Anti-Doping (or its successor), as amended from time to time. Such rules shall take effect and be construed as the rules of ScotSAC. 

If you are a member of ScotSAC then the anti-doping rules apply to you, regardless of what level you participate at.
