Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps the Government is taking to detect and tackle doping in British sport.
This question was answered on 16th March 2015
UK Anti Doping continues to provide a prevention through education programmes, intelligence-led athlete testing across more than 40 Olympic, Paralympic and professional sports, investigations and exclusive results management authority for the determination of Anti-Doping Rule Violations.
The tougher sanctions set out in the recently revised World Anti-Doping Code will act as a deterrent to those that believe doping in sport to be an option.
