The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to WPQ 9087 answered on 17 Jul 2026 about Steroid Drugs: Young People, what recent discussions she has had with UK Anti Doping on the findings of their 2026 Clean Sport Survey on trends in the use of SARMs by young people.

Answered by Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

I support the work of UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) to tackle misinformation around image and performance enhancing drugs including SARMs. In addition to their ongoing work to educate athletes on the health risks of performance enhancing drugs, UKAD produced educational content on SARMs as part of Clean Sport Work in May this year. I also met with UKAD to discuss this very issue at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow earlier this year.
