Anti-Doping Advice and Rules

The English Karate Federation (EKF) adheres to a comprehensive anti-doping policy that all athletes and their support teams are required to follow. These regulations align with the World Anti-Doping Code, which is the foundational document that standardises anti-doping efforts worldwide across all sports. Similarly, the anti-doping regulations for the EKF are those set forth by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), subject to updates and revisions over time. 

Membership in the EKF mandates compliance with these anti-doping rules, irrespective of the competitive level. Details on the UK Anti-Doping Rules can be accessed by clicking the button below.
