The Drug Information Database and 100% ME Programme

The misuse of drugs still remains an issue in sport and below is some information on two web resources that firstly help identify the validity of certain drugs and secondly provide an awareness approach to the problem.
The Drug Information Database (DID) provides an easy to search option which allows you to determine a drugs status on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List, whilst the initiative 100% ME Programme is an athlete-centred education and information programme that aims to increase understanding of drugs in the sporting community. This Sport UK sponsored website, includes a wide range of information on doping in sport, the rules and testing process and also an education section where there are lesson plans are available. It also provides links to other sites, news and a selection of video downloads.
