DRUG TESTING

Athletes who take part in UKUP Natural events are subject to drug testing by biological sampling (urinalysis/ blood/ hair sampling). Testing can either be random, or targeted e.g. class winners. Failure to submit to a drug test will be considered a drug test failure.

Independent polygraph testing may be necessary and is paid by the athlete.
