    designated by the Singapore Government as having the responsibility for all doping matters

    relating to sport in Singapore;

    established in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code, as the basis for the

    fight against doping in sport;

    and the ADS Anti-Doping Rules in respect of our affairs and activities.

    SRA condemns the use of doping in sport. It recognizes the right of all its Athletes to participate in a

    sport that is free from the misuse of drugs. SRA is committed to educate, inform and test, as

    appropriate, participants competing in Rowing in Singapore, and representing Singapore, so that it

    remains a drug-free sport.

    It is a requirement of participation in the sport that all its Athletes, Athlete support personnel and other

    persons under the jurisdiction of the SRA comply with the Anti-Doping Policy of Singapore and the

    ADS Anti-doping Rules set out and published by SRA and ADS.

    In testing its Athletes, SRA is committed to handling the management of results in a confidential and

    accountable manner and to carry out disciplinary procedures where appropriate by the fair and

    independent process it has agreed with its members and with ADS, it’s appointed National Anti-

    Doping Organization for the collection of doping control samples. The disciplinary procedure for a

    contravention of these rules is published in full in the ADS Anti-Doping Rules.
