We are a member of UK Anti-Doping's Athlete Commission, and work collaboratively with them to ensure athletes understand the anti-doping process and to raise awareness of the support available.
Our athlete briefings always reference anti-doping and, similarly, UKAD education materials signpost eligible athletes to BEAA support.
If you have received a whereabouts failure or a missed test notification from UKAD, we may be able to help you with access to independent legal advice. This offer may extend to support where you have committed an alleged anti-doping rule violation.
