Leeds & Bradford Triathlon Club recognise that all athletes have the right to compete in sport knowing that they, and their competitors, are clean. LBT is dedicated to the clean sport mission. We are fully supportive of the testing of athletes in and out of competition both domestically and internationally and strive to protect the culture of clean sport. This is why LBT are following the British Triathlon Federation’s guidance on Clean Sport.

To this end the LBT commits to support Clean Sport in the UK in the following ways:

• LBT supports the mission of UKAD and WADA in achieving Clean Sport.
• All athletes are expected to play, train and compete in line with the spirit of sport, including the Anti-Doping Rules.
• All coaches and athlete support personnel are expected to perform their role in line with the spirit of sport, including the Anti-Doping Rules.
