UK Sport goes on the dope offensive
UK Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe has announced radical new plans that places the UK ahead of the pack in its fight against doping. The new NADO will see that ahead of 2012 anti-doping in the UK will become evermore prevalent.
Within the statement John Steele, Chief Executive of UK Sport, said
The new NADO marks an exciting new chapter in anti-doping in the UK, and we are sending out a clear statement of intent ahead of 2012 that doping in this country will not be tolerated. A phenomenal amount of work has been done over the past year to get us to this point. Everyone is in agreement that this is the right thing to do and it was essential we took the time to ensure we do it properly. I am delighted that the funding for the new NADO has been confirmed and, in many ways, the real hard work starts now to get it operational by the end of the year.
Key actions
- New NADO to be open for business by the end of 2009
- 60% increase in UK’s anti-doping budget to allow major strengthening of powers
- “Clear statement of intent” ahead of London 2012
