We're proud to support Clean Sport Week (taking place from 11–17 May 2026), the annual awareness campaign led by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) that champions fair play, integrity and drug-free sport. 

This year's theme, ‘Built not bought. 100% me.’, celebrates athletes who achieve true, lasting success through hard work, talent and commitment. It sends a clear message: champions compete clean and don’t take shortcuts. Clean Sport Week 2026 comes at a critical time. There is growing concern across the sporting and fitness community, about the marketing and availability of Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs) online, including Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs).  

There is an increasing amount of content online promoting the use of SARMs to young people, with claims that these are ‘safer alternatives to anabolic steroids’. This is not the case. They are dangerous, not for human consumption and are banned in sport. UKAD is using Clean Sport Week to shine a light on this misinformation and to remind people not to risk their health, career and reputation by taking these substances. Don’t swallow the lies. 

We're committed to ensuring that athletes from elite competitors to grassroots participants and young fitness enthusiasts, have access to accurate information and are empowered to make healthy, drug-free choices. The message is simple: just don't risk it. True success is built, not bought.
