Britain’s first dedicated anti-doping body to open

LONDON — The British government is set to open the country’s first dedicated anti-doping body next month.

UK Anti-Doping will be responsible for enforcing the compliance of sports’ governing bodies with the World Anti-Doping Code.

The government also says it will open a “drugs cheats hotline” beginning next year to allow confidential reporting of those suspected of doping and create an athlete committee to liaise between UKAD and competitors.
