Anti Doping
The DRA adopts a full anti-doping regime with regard to the Sport
of Darts. The anti-doping rules of the DRA are the UK Anti-Doping Rules published by the Drug-Free
Sport Directorte of UK Sport (or its successor) as amended from time to time: UK Anti-Doping Rules
Drugs
Testing
Players may be concerned that if you have been prescribed
medication for a medical condition it may affect your ability to participate in a Darts Event. Many
prescribed drugs will not prevent you from competing, but some may. The key point is to contact the DRA at
the Council’s registered address or E-mail or Tim Ollerenshaw (TimO@moore-tibbits.co.uk), at the earliest opportunity so that you can compete without
risk of failing a Drugs Test. He will provide assistance and support in how you should deal with matters. In
urgent situations if you cannot contact him then you may contact UK Anti-Doping
directly: www.ukad.org.uk
Please note that it is an individual’s responsibility to ensure
that he or she is safe to compete. The thrust of regulation and education is personal liability. If you are
unsure about how a drug may affect your ability to compete fairly, seek advice before you start taking the
relevant medication. The DRA is available to help and to maximise the chances of players being able to
compete in events, not the other way round.
