The Next Generation: Protecting and supporting young athletes during Clean Sport Week, 19 – 23 May.

Weightlifting Wales is committed to clean sport and has been supporting UK Anti-Doping’s (UKAD’s) Clean Sport Week campaign this week from the 19th - 23rd May.  

Clean Sport Week is UK Anti-Doping's (UKAD’s) national awareness campaign championing clean sport, education and anti-doping initiatives with sports across the UK. 

This year’s Clean Sport Week theme for 2025 is “The Next Generation”. To ensure the future of our sport is a bright and clean one, it’s vital that we support and educate young people on anti-doping and inspire them to become proud clean athletes. UKAD has teamed up with; TASS, SportsAid, and DiSE to discuss how the sporting community, family, friends, and those working with young people, can protect and empower young athletes. 

A culture of clean sport is essential for the long-term health and wellbeing of athletes. Whether you’re a proud aspiring weightlifting/para-powerlifting athlete on your clean sport journey, a parent/carer looking for the right tools to support your child in weightlifting/para-powerlifting, a school or college wanting to teach your pupils about fair play, be sure to follow and get involved in Clean Sport Week. 

We encourage anyone in our sporting community that would like to learn more about anti-doping to sign up to UKAD’s Clean Sport Hub where there are free education courses for athletes, students, coaches and practitioners.
