contrary to the spirit of sport and every member has a duty to ensure that the sport is free of doping.</h3> <blockquote> <p><strong>Basketball Ireland - Clean Sport Commitment Statement</strong><br />Basketball Ireland has adopted the Sport Ireland and World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) position that cheating, including doping, in sport is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport, undermining the otherwise positive impact of sport on society.</p> </blockquote> <p></p> <p>All club personnel have a responsibility to ensure that club members are aware of the Irish Anti-Doping Rules and that there is an atmosphere supporting a drug free sport within the club. A complete copy of the Irish Anti-Doping Rules is available below. This page provides up-to-date information from World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), Sport Ireland, FIBA and Basketball Ireland rules and regulations in the area of doping.</p> <p><strong>The consequences of not adhering to Anti-Doping rules can be severe for athletes and their support personnel such as coaches and parents</strong>; therefore it is critical that any questions/concerns be clarified with either the Anti- Doping Officer in Basketball Ireland or Sport Ireland.</p> <p>Basketball Ireland is fully committed to ensuring doping has no place in the sport of basketball.</p> <p>Basketball Ireland works with Sport Ireland and FIBA in its anti-doping efforts. Rules apply to athletes and athlete support personnel. The Irish Anti-doping Programme seeks to preserve the spirit of sport. By virtue of their participation in Basketball Ireland activities, members, including minors, agree to abide by the Anti-Doping Rules.</p> <p>The following sections highlight key areas with regard to Anti-Doping. Basketball Ireland advises all members to read and understand the anti-doping rules and to understand your responsibilities under the rules. The consequences of not adhering to Anti-Doping rules can be severe for athletes and their support personnel such as coaches and parents; therefore it is critical that any questions/concerns be clarified with either the Basketball Ireland Anti-Doping Officer or Sport Ireland.</p> <div class="acc-panel " data-url=""> <h2 >Irish Anti-Doping Rules </h2> <div class="acc-panel-content"> <p><strong>Under the Irish Anti-Doping Rules, Sport Ireland carries out drug testing on behalf of Basketball Ireland. </strong></p> <p>Sport Ireland has reviewed the Irish Anti-Doping Rules to ensure compliance with the 2021 World Anti-Doping Code.
