As part of its responsibilities in promoting a World Class standard in sailing, the RYA is committed to producing sailors who are competing and winning fairly. The RYA subscribes to the UK Sport Anti-Doping Programme and the UK s National Anti-Doping Policy.

All sailors have a responsibility to compete cleanly and fairly. Under the 'strict liability' rules set out in international sport, you are responsible for any prohibited substances found in your system.

It is therefore vital you understand the rules, policies and procedures that exist to protect your right to compete on a level playing field.
