Dr. Una May:

The national anti-doping programme relates specifically to substances that are abused for performance-enhancing purposes, but it also incorporates what might be referred to as recreational drugs. The programme tests athletes for the use of other substances apart from those that are traditionally considered to be performance enhancing, and we monitor the issue from that point of view. We do carry out research, but we have not dedicated a specific module of our research to it. Every year, we have a number of so-called flexible modules in which we ask new questions every time. The issue is certainly something we could look into in greater depth. I am aware it has been raised a few times recently, so we would be happy to incorporate it into the research outside of performance-enhancing drugs.
