SPORTS INTEGRITY

What Is Sport Integrity?

Sport is an Australian way of life. It brings people together, transcending differences in language, ability, culture and beliefs, and provides physical, social and economic benefits. Threats to sports integrity include competition-manipulation, doping, and behaviours that impact people’s positive experience of sport, such as discrimination or abuse. Integrity in sport means that athletes, supporters and fans can participate and celebrate sport, confident in the knowledge that they are part of a safe, ethical and inclusive environment.

Athletics South Australia takes integrity seriously.

All our members and participants have an obligation to protect and maintain the integrity of sport, as well as the health and wellbeing of our athletes.

We work closely with Australian Athletics, who in turn work closely with Sport Integrity Australia, the federal agency established to prevent and deal with integrity threats in sport.

The Athletics SA Board has adopted the National Integrity Framework.
