Administration

The policy of the Camogie Association is that doping is contrary to the spirit of FAIR PLAY and all members have a responsibility to ensure that our sport is free of doping.

The fundamental aims of doping control are threefold:
To uphold and preserve the ethics of sport
To safeguard the physical health and mental integrity of players
To ensure that all competitors have an equal chance

All members of county panels taking part in the Senior Championship (O’Duffy Cup) may be subject to drug testing in or out of competition, (i.e. at any senior championship match or county training session). Players should be aware of the Irish Anti-Doping Rules available at www.irishsportscouncil.ie/anti-doping

Players are also responsible for checking their prescribed and over-the-counter medications to see if they are permitted for use by players. If a medication is not permitted, the player may need to apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption. The website www.eirpharm.com has a 'Drugs in Sport Database' where players can check prescribed and over-the-counter medications bought in the Republic of Ireland. Medications bought in Northern Ireland should be checked on www.globaldro.com or contact the Irish Sports Council for assistance with your query.
