UKAD, which is successor National Anti-Doping Organisation to the Drug-Free Directorate of UK Sport, will work in respect of any adverse analytical finding; atypical finding or other alleged anti-doping rule violation and also present the case at any hearing on behalf of UKA.

UKA Chairman Ed Warner said: “UKA welcomes the establishment of UKAD as an independent National Anti Doping Organisation for the UK and looks forward to working closely with it for the benefit of clean sport in the UK.”
