Working together for Clean Sport:

British Weight Lifting works closely with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and The World Anti- Doping Agency (WADA) to conduct a comprehensive anti-doping programme that covers education, testing and results management. By signing up to a BWL Membership, you agree to be bound by, and adhere to the BWL Anti-Doping rules and regulations.

All members must cooperate fully with any anti-doping investigations or proceedings, whether conducted by UKAD or any other competent body.  Failure to do so without acceptable justification may be treated as misconduct by BWL and a member may be sanctioned accordingly.

In an event that a person who is subject to BWL’s jurisdiction commits an act of misconduct that relates to anti-doping but does not amount to a violation of UKAD or BWL anti-doping rules, BWL may bring disciplinary proceedings against that person for such misconduct and they may be sanctioned accordingly.

Further details can be found on our website: https://britishweightlifting.org/performance/clean-sport.

Also by signing up to be a BWL Membership, you agree to adhere to British Weight Lifting Codes of Conduct and all other policies. Further details and all policies can be found on the website:  https://britishweightlifting.org/about/safeguarding
