Anti-Doping
The YNE Anti-Doping Policy
The YNE and our governing body, British Powerlifting, have a strict anti-doping policy enforced by random ‘out of contest’ testing carried out to WADA standards. Drug testing will be carried out at divisional and home country championships by the British Powerlifting independent testing agency IDTM.
The YNE fully accept the World Anti-Doping Code issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). British Powerlifting is affiliated to the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), which is recognised by WADA under the Alliance of Independent Members of Sportaccord (AIMS).

World Anti-Doping Code
The following are the fundamentals of the World Anti-Doping Code, which can be viewed in full on the WADA web-site www.wada-ama.org. The purpose of the World Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code which supports it is:
To protect the Athletes’ fundamental right to participate in doping-free sport and thus promote health, fairness and equality for Athletes worldwide and to ensure harmonised, coordinated and effective anti-doping programmes at international and national level for the detection,deterrence and prevention of doping.
Anti-doping programmes seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. This intrinsic value is often referred to as “the spirit of sport”. The spirit of sport is the celebration of the human spirit, body and mind and is characterised by:
- Ethics, fair play and honesty
- Health
- Excellence in performance
- Character and education
- Fun and joy
- Teamwork
- Dedication and commitment
- Respect for rules and laws
- Respect for oneself and other participants
- Courage and community and solidarity
Doping is fundamentally contrary to the Spirit of Sport.
