Abstract
Maintaining the edge against those athletes who chose to cheat at sport through doping is a tough business. In Australia, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) is charged with developing a sporting culture free from doping in which performance is based on an athlete's talent, determination, courage and honesty. ASADA recognises the important role that support personnel – and particularly the medical fraternity – play in helping athletes to avoid decisions that can lead to deliberate and/or inadvertent doping. In presenting to the SMA community, ASADA will further enhance the medical fraternity's knowledge and understanding of doping and highlight the important role the fraternity plays in ensuring that athletes do not violate the World Anti-Doping Code. In October of each year, the World Anti-Doping Agency updates the Prohibited Substance List (to commence on 1 January). This means, that we can tailor our presentation to some of the important updates coming out of the Prohibited Substance List update.
