On-site drug and alcohol testing for Oz racing

Will be introduced at Motorcycling Australia-sanctioned events, effective immediately
Citing safety concerns, Motorcycling Australia (MA) has introduced on-site drug and alcohol testing across for motorcycle sport participants, with the revised policy to come into effect immediately.
The testing will be similar to the current workplace illicit drug and alcohol testing model, and will be undertaken by industry accredited testing agencies.
“MA does not condone the use of illicit drugs and alcohol, particularly during Motorcycle Sport events where substance use compromises safety,” MA CEO David White said. “MA is continually working to maximise the safety and wellbeing of our riders and officials, and this additional testing program will assist in creating the safest possible environment at all events.”
The revised policy does not replace or in any way affect the anti-doping testing that may be carried out by ASADA under the Anti-Doping Policy.
