Choose Food First this Pancake Day

A reminder on Pancake Day to choose food first over supplements.

All athletes face the risks of inadvertent doping simply from testing positive due to the use of a medication or a supplement. Athletes have a responsibility to make sure that anything they eat, and drink is safe to do so and does not contain any prohibited substances.

To mark Shrove Tuesday, UKAD’s 100% me education mascot, Squeaky the Duck has released a special video, featuring UKAD Athlete Commission Member and former MasterChef contestant, Christian Day.

In the video, Christian talks through the steps to create fluffy, American style pancakes, with Squeaky watching closely to make sure nothing naughty is added.

The video is available to watch on Instagram or via UKAD’s Video Hub.

Remember to assess the need, assess the risks and assess the consequences before using supplements. For more food first recipes and to check your supplements, visit UKAD’s Supplements Hub.

Happy Pancake Day!
