This season, don't let one of your teammates bring the team down.

If they're taking steroids or Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs (IPEDs), they're not in it for the team and they could cost your team's future results.

Tell UKAD, and know that your achievements in the season ahead are due to your hard work and are 100% you.
