Anti-doping

Anti-doping

Introduction

Doping is the process in which an athlete takes prohibited drugs or supplements in order to enhance performance. HKCR has a zero-tolerance policy to doping and works in conjunction with World Rugby and the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) to ensure Rugby Union remains a clean sport. 

WADA is an international independent agency and the world authority on anti-doping measures, anti-doping research and anti-doping education.  It was formed in 1999 to ensure athletes both Nationally and Internationally were dealt with in a consistent manner.
