The FA has in place a set of Anti-Doping Regulations that all Players and other Participants must abide by. The Anti-Doping Regulations for The FA are consistent with the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code), the core document that harmonises anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within sport globally.
 
The Anti-Doping Regulations of The FA are available here. 

If you are a Participant of The FA then the Anti-Doping Regulations apply to you, regardless of what level you participate at. 

2021 World Anti-Doping Code

From 1 January 2021, a new version of the Code is in effect and it’s important that all Players and other Participants are aware of how this impacts them.

For more information on the changes within the 2021 Code, visit UKAD’s website here. 

Under the 2021 Code, a Player may be classified as being “International-Level”, “National-Level” or a “Recreational” based on their competition level. Further information on these different categories is available on the UKAD website.
