Disability Target Shooting Great Britain and the British Paralympic Association are committed to protecting the athlete’s fundamental right to participate in doping-free sport and thus promote health, fairness and equality for athletes competing in the sport of Shooting in Great Britain.

If you are an athlete who is a member of the Disability Target Shooting Great Britain you can be asked to provide a urine or blood sample to doping control at any time. You should therefore take note of the 5 key responsibilities elite athletes must fulfil contained within this handbook.

1. Stay up-to-date with the latest Prohibited List of Substances and Methods.
2. Check the status of any substance before you use it. Note: It is still considered an anti-doping violation if a Prohibited Substance is found in your system – despite how it came to be there.
3. Inform all medical personnel responsible for your health and well being that you compete under specific anti-doping rules and ensure that medical treatment received does not violate anti-doping rules.
4. Submit a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for any prohibited substance and/or method you are prescribed for a legitimate medical condition.
5. Provide accurate whereabouts details for out of competition testing if required by UK Sport or your International Federation.

If you are a member of the Disability Target Shooting Great Britain, the Anti-Doping Rules of the British Paralympic Association’s Control Rules apply to you. You can get a copy of these rules on the ParalympicsGB website or by contacting ParalympicsGB at the address below.
