How we support Clean Sport:
We are committed to supporting students with clean sport education so they can be best prepared and equipped with the knowledge needed to train and compete clean. This support is offered to MMU Sport scholars, club members and coaches as well as TASS athletes.
Students are also advised to ask a member of the MMU Sport Performance Team if they have any questions around clean sport.
“MMU Sport will put into place, support and promote the Clean Sport policies of UK Anti-Doping and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). We’re committed to educating our athletes, coaches and athlete support staff. We instil in them the values, attitudes and beliefs of Clean Sport, so that we can keep all our sport clean. We will will protect the ethos, integrity and spirit of sport, in part, through our Clean Sport policy. We will inspire, support and enable student athletes to be the very best they can be. They will celebrate this success in the knowledge that it was achieved honestly and fairly.”
