Doping is cheating. Respect your team-mates and your sport, but most of all respect yourself. The real winner is the one who has played by the rules.
Find out about doping, so that you can have a long career. Consult your team doctor or databases such as the Global Drug Reference Online (www.globaldro.com). Always double-check any medication: even when it is prescribed by your doctor, not every physician is aware of the Anti-Doping Regulations and WADA’s World Anti-Doping Code.
WADA’s prohibited list is a vital tool for all athletes and describes the substances (and classes of medication) and methods that are banned. Always check the list before taking any medication. If you have any doubts, contact SLADA.

It is against the rules to make, sell, buy or attempt to traffic any prohibited substance or method, or to possess, administer or attempt to administer any prohibited substance or method.
