New anti-doping guide for CAMS competitors and officials

The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) has released a new educational tool to help the Australian motor sport participants understand anti-doping issues.

Incorporating the latest changes to the CAMS Anti-Doping Policy and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code, ‘CAMS Anti-Doping Policy: Quick Info’ provides motor sport participants with important anti-doping information in a simple, user-friendly manner. While the brochure touches on several aspects of anti-doping such as the WADA Code, doping violations and the WADA Prohibited List – all of which can affect both competitors and officials – there is also a section dedicated to testing and what a competitor can expect if and when they’re selected for testing.

As statement on the guide explains “the brochure also aims to dispel the previous school of thought being ‘anti-doping is only for competitors’ or that the only way to be banned is through a positive test – both of which are incorrect.

“WADA’s and ASADA’s stance on anti-doping rule violations ‘ignorance is no excuse’ is certainly one of the focus points of this brochure.”

Developed under the CAMS Safety and Integrity banner, the new brochure has been given the tick of approval by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and has been advertised to the Australian sporting community on ASADA’s eLearning site.

CAMS add that the brochure has been “created by motor sport people for motor sport people.”

CAMS encourages clubs to download, print and distribute the brochure to their members.

Anyone seeking further information on anti-doping matters can visit the anti-doping page on the CAMS website or contact the CAMS Integrity Officer directly on 03 9593 7777, E: integrity@cams.com.au.
