Anti-doping
All athletes have the right to compete in sport knowing that they, and their competitors, are clean. The BMC believes in clean competition climbing and works in partnership with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and our International Federation (World Climbing) to ensure that the integrity of our sport is protected and prevent doping. The use of performance-enhancing drugs and other doping behaviour severely damages the legitimacy of sport and undermines the integrity of clean athletes.
Sport Climbing World Cups and Championships
World Climbing runs international competitions in the disciplines of lead, speed and bouldering. The GB Climbing Team currently competes internationally in lead and bouldering and occasionally in speed climbing. The World Climbing World Series takes place annually and the World Climbing World Championships take place every two years.
