We are using Clean Sport Week to raise awareness of the risks of Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs, including SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators).

There is a healthier, safer way to better performance. One that is built through hard work, dedication and craft, not bought with substances that sellers may claim to offer 'quick wins'.

We spoke with the Bello brothers about the risks that come with these substances and why you shouldn't believe everything you see on social media about them.

Listen to people you trust, talk to your coaches and your family and make informed decisions when it comes to your training and health.

For Clean Sport Week we surveyed young people (16-25 year olds) and parents about the misinformation they maybe exposed to online about Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs, such as SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators).

The results were concerning.

If any athlete or support personnel has concerns relating to SARMs, please check UKAD’s new Factsheet on SARMs, which is now on our website.

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are a class of Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs), and are prohibited in sport.

There is a large amount of dangerous and misleading information online about SARMs. Not one SARM has been approved by any medical agencies for human use, with safety cited as one of the concerns surrounding these products.

That is why we will be using Clean Sport Week 2026 (11-17 May) to highlight the harms of SARMs, amongst other IPEDs, and encourage athletes to consider the harmful reality behind these products that get pushed so frequently online. by @ukantidoping

Remember these steps for any medication you take: Search. Check. Apply.

Search your medication on Global DRO and check the TUE Wizard on our website to see if you need to apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).

Last year you loved our Life of a Clean Athlete, and we really wanted to add to it by creating Life of a Clean Athlete: The Encore.

As we approach the last few months of the year, there are some important things clean athletes need to be aware of, such as checking the recently announced 2027 Prohibited List on @wada_ama website, as well as reading the 2027 World Anti-Doping Code.

Making sure you're aware of the changes that come into force on 1 January 2027.

A reminder about IV infusions❕

IV infusions or injections of more than 100 ml per 12 hour period are prohibited! Except when they are legitimately received in the course of hospital treatment (admission to A&E for example).

This means it is prohibited to receive IV infusions in a medical practitioner's office, medical facility at a sports venue, or IV clinic, and would require a TUE.

And remember to always check the anti-doping status of the ingredients received within an IV infusion or injection, regardless of the volume.

Search "UKAD Special Topics" to find out more about IV infusions. by @ukantidoping
