UK Sport launches Global Drug Reference Online (Global DRO)
A new on-line database enabling all athletes and personnel to check the status of their medication has been launched. The new system retains many of the core functions from the Drug Information Database with the ability to check the status of branded medications and individual active ingredients as well as providing every search with a unique reference number. Global DRO will be updated regularly to include new products entering the marketplace or to adjust for changes in status, and all data will be fully verified by pharmacists experienced in the field of anti-doping. The system is now operational and can be accessed at www.globaldro.co.uk
