Sporting Ambassadors
Many successful drug-free athletes and sporting role models have committed themselves to using the 100% ME programme as a platform to promote anti-doping and to lead the global fight against doping in sport.
A 100% ME Sporting Ambassador is a successful sports person who is or has competed at the very highest level. This athlete has openly condemned the use of performance enhancing substances in sport and has proven that you can achieve the very best in your field without using them.
A 100% ME Sporting Ambassador educates, promotes and acts as a role modal to younger up and coming athletes. So, when an athlete is on the start line, it will 100% them, as it’s what’s inside that counts.
Paula Radcliffe, Jonny Wilkinson and Bryan Steel are 100% ME Ambassadors, promoting anti-doping, and celebrating the honourable success of many of our most admired sporting heroes. They also support DARE (UK) as they believe that our children must receive the support and education they deserve.
