Kickboxing GB Adopts UK Anti-Doping Rules
On Friday, 8th September 2023, the Kickboxing GB Board officially approved the adoption of the UK Anti-Doping Rules. This significant step is part of our continuous commitment to align with the mandatory requirements outlined within UK Anti-Doping’s assurance framework. This framework serves as the primary mechanism through which Kickboxing GB, as a National Governing Body, demonstrates its dedication to upholding anti-doping responsibilities, ensuring compliance with the government's UK National Anti-Doping Policy.
But why is this move so crucial? Beyond the fundamental goal of maintaining the integrity of our sport, joining the UKAD framework is a prerequisite for sports aiming to secure public funding. Moreover, it's an essential criterion for membership within the British Olympic Association. In essence, our commitment to Anti-Doping places us on the direct path towards Olympic readiness.
