BBSA Statement

The British Bobsleigh & Skeleton Association fully supports clean sport and we want all our athletes to compete on an equal footing.

We note and share the concerns of our staff and athletes ahead of this season’s World Championships in Sochi and we continue to seek reassurance from our international governing body, the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (the IBSF).

As an organisation, we are in regular dialogue with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the IBSF and we await the publication of Professor Richard McLaren’s second report, which is scheduled for December.

We trust that the IBSF will take a strong stance to protect clean sport and act accordingly.
