All athletes have the right to compete in sport knowing that they, and their competitors, are clean. We believe in clean sport and work in partnership with the Welsh Target Shooting Federation, who in turn work with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and domestic and international target shooting bodies to ensure that the integrity of our sport is protected.
Anti-Doping Rules
The International Shooting Sport Federation has in place a set of anti-doping rules that all athletes and athlete support personnel must abide by. The anti-doping rules for are consistent with the World Anti-Doping Code (“the Code”), which is the core document that harmonises anti-doping policies, rules and regulations globally.
The anti-doping rules of British Shooting and the Welsh Target Shooting Federation are the rules published by UK Anti-Doping (or its successor), as amended from time to time.
If you compete in target shooting in Wales, UK Anti-Doping rules apply to you. See the rules here. Please consult the WTSF website for more information.
