Motorsport Ireland believes that Competitors and Officials have the right to compete in a fair, equal, and safe environment.
We operate an anti-doping and anti-alcohol programme in conjunction with Sport Ireland, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and the FIA.
By using any substance that can alter judgement and reactions, a person may indeed put his / her life, and the lives of others in danger. Testing, and when necessary sanctioning, do, nevertheless, remain key elements of our anti-doping and anti-alcohol policies.
