The Next Generation: Supporting Clean Sport Week, 19 - 23 May
Clean Sport Weekis UKAD’s (UK Anti-Doping) national awareness week championing clean sport, education and anti-doping initiatives with sports across the UK.
This year’s theme has a focus on 'The Next Generation' and is all about empowering and protecting young athletes.
To ensure the future of our sport is a bright and clean one, it’s vital that we support and educate young people on anti-doping and inspire them to become proud clean athletes. UKAD has teamed up with; TASS, SportsAid, DiSE and Pearson to discuss how the sporting community, family, friends, and those working with young people, can protect and empower young athletes.
A culture of clean sport is essential for the long-term health and wellbeing of athletes. Whether you’re a proud aspiring athlete on your clean sport journey or looking for the right tools to support your friend or family member, be sure to follow and get involved in Clean Sport Week.
Clean Sport Week aims to shine a spotlight on athlete voices, hearing about the hard work, dedication and passion it’s taken to achieve their goals, all whilst ensuring clean sport is at the heart of that journey. You can expect new research to be shared into young people’s views on doping in sport, the sharing of resources, inspiring interviews and digital content with up-and-coming athletes and current sporting stars, as well as an in-person event, plus much more.

We encourage anyone in our sporting community that would like to learn more about anti-doping to sign up to UKAD’s Clean Sport Hub where there are free education courses for athletes, students, coaches and practitioners.
