BJJAGB Clean Sport

Clean Sport Policy

The BJJAGB has in place a CLEAN SPORT policy that all athletes, coaches and athlete support personnel must follow. The anti-doping rules for the BJJAGB are consistent with the World Anti-Doping Code (2015 Code), which governs anti-doping internationally.

If you are a member of BJJAGB then this CLEAN SPORT policy applies to you, regardless of what level you participate at.

In the UK, the BJJAGB works in partnership with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) to prevent doping.

UKAD is the national anti-doping agency for the UK, dedicated to protecting a culture of clean sport – it achieves this through implementing education and testing programmes, gathering and developing intelligence, and prosecuting those found to have committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.

UKAD is responsible for ensuring sports bodies in the UK are compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code through the implementation and management of the UK’s National Anti-Doping Policy.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is responsible for leading the collaborative world-wide campaign for clean sport. Established in 1999 as an independent agency and funded by both sport and governments, it manages the development of the World Anti-Doping Code. The Code aims to harmonise all anti-doping policies ensuring that athletes and athlete support personnel are treated fairly and consistently.

The aims of the 2021 Code and WADA are to:

• protect the Athletes’ fundamental right to participate in doping-free sport and thus promote health, fairness and equality for Athletes worldwide, and
• ensure harmonised, coordinated and effective anti-doping programmes at the international and national level with regard to detection, deterrence and prevention of doping
