It’s fair to say that the past 12 months have been no different. In fact, arguably more so. UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) now looks very different to the organisation on which we reported in 2018. Following the publication of the Tailored Review report in January 2018, and the launch of our new four-year Strategic Plan (2018-2022) at the start of the last financial year, our staff headcount has grown by around one third to enable us to deliver against the recommendations set out in the report. It is pleasing to note that good progress against the recommendations is being made. New projects are now underway, such as the implementation of our International Strategy, preparing our Tokyo 2020 education programmes and increasing our public-interest testing by 50%. The impact on the organisation of increasing a testing programme by 50% cannot be understated. Additional Doping Control Personnel (DCP) have had to be recruited and trained to deal with the additional tests, the results team has had a 50% increase in doping control generated paperwork, the legal team has encountered a rise in results management issues and the significant increase in flow of samples to the laboratory has had to be carefully managed. We have also started preliminary work on scoping the broader sports integrity environment in the United Kingdom to identify opportunities for shared intelligence working and values-based education programmes. We have been focussing on work necessary to support the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as it prepares to consult on the forthcoming changes to the National Anti-Doping Policy (NADP). At the same time, we have consulted widely on the proposed revisions to the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and sought to fully represent the views of our stakeholders as well as our own when submitting these to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The proposed revisions seek to clarify some ‘grey’ areas in the current Code as well as strengthen the consequences for those that seek to purposely cheat. For the first time, an International Standard for Education will take effect in 2021 that mandates education by all signatories. As for our major outreach events, we were delighted with the success of our second Clean Sport Week in May 2018, which saw more than 70 National Governing Bodies (NGBs), sporting bodies and stakeholders engage with the week, resulting in 75 pieces of national and regional media coverage and a social media reach of more than 40 million. A huge ‘thank you’ to all who supported the week. WADA’s reinstatement to compliance of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) has resulted in numerous column inches across worldwide media outlets over the past few months. Whilst many have had – and continue to have – their say on proceedings, what has emanated 4 most clearly is the authoritative sound of the athlete voice. Athletes, more than ever before, are standing up for, and fighting for, clean sport; and this should be celebrated and encouraged. This is also a poignant time to repeat a sentence from last year’s Annual Report: “It is vitally important we work together to change public perception and reinstate confidence in clean sport.” We hope you find this year’s Annual Report insightful and representative of the work of UKAD, both at home and abroad, as we continue the fight for clean sport for our athletes.

The review, commissioned by the Minister for Sport and Civil Society, took place in 2017 and reported early in 2018. It looked at the purpose, form and operations of UKAD along with preparations for the future. Good headway has been made in establishing the infrastructure and processes required to monitor and implement the Tailored Review recommendations. Recording of progress made against all recommendations is recorded and reported to each Board meeting. Monthly meetings take place with DCMS to provide updates on progress towards achievement of each recommendation and allow for monitoring against agreed deadlines. The organisation’s Operational Plan for 2019/20 will form the basis for reporting progress against the Tailored Review recommendations. Staff will report progress on a quarterly basis and progress reports will be submitted to Board for its oversight. As of 31 March 2019, of the 33 recommendations where UKAD has the lead, 10 recommendations had been confirmed by the Minister as complete,
