The doping policy has changed!

With the beginning of 2010 just around the corner, there are some changes in the anti-doping world that you need to know about.

The first of particular note is that the new Prohibited List has been released, and will come into effect on 1 January 2010. https://checksubstances.asada.gov.au/

On another note, I’m really pleased about ASADA’s new website. If you’ve not yet seen it, visit www.asada.gov.au. Some of the feedback we received from athletes and support personnel in June this year was that information on the old website could be a bit tricky to find. So we’ve taken that on board, and have created a new website, that is interactive and very easy to navigate.

http://aebf.com.au/pdf/AEBF%20ASADA%20Doping%20Policy.pdf

As part of the AEBF’s new anti doping policy and recognition by the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) we are required to report to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) any player who has a current Abbreviated Therapeutic Use Exemption (ATUE).

This is any player who is on a prescribed medication which is on the banned substance list and has been to see their GP and had them sign the ATUE form saying there are no other medications suitable to treat their condition.

Under the new AEBF anti-doping policy any player competing in an AEBF sanctioned event that is on a prescribed medication that is on the banned substance list will need to have a current ATUE.

If the player does not have a current ATUE and tests positive to their prescribed medication they are in breach of the AEBF anti-doping policy and will be subject to sanctions under the anti-doping policy.

Copies of the form required to be completed by the players GP to seek ATUE can be found on the ASADA webpage www.asada.gov.au.

The ASADA Hotline on 1800 020 506 between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM AEST 7 days a week. (under the billiards section)

Queensland is using the Australian Eight Ball Federation ASADA Doping Policy as a guideline on anti-doping.
