Here is some information regarding the Canadian Anti Doping Program:

Alpine Canada has adopted the Canadian Anti-Doping Program
(CADP). As part of Alpine Canada, all members of Alberta Alpine are subject to
Canada’s anti-doping rules, which are administered by the Canadian Centre for
Ethics in Sport (CCES). The CADP consists of several components such as in- and
out-of-competition testing, education, medical exemptions, and the consequences
of doping violations, and is compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code and all
international standards.

By adopting the CADP, Alpine Canada has joined a world-class
anti-doping program that is designed to protect athletes’ rights and ensure a
level playing field. Alpine Canada’s anti-doping policy reflects and supports
the CADP.

The
CCES recommends that athletes take the following actions to ensure they don’t
commit an inadvertent anti-doping rule violation:

·        
Check the Global DRO (www.globaldro.com) to determine if any
prescription or over-the-counter medications or treatments that are banned by
the WADA Prohibited List.

·        
Review Medical Exemptions requirements (www.cces.ca/medical) if you require the use of a banned medication for a
legitimate medical reason.

·        
Do not use supplements, or to take precautions
prior to doing so. Supplement products cannot be verified by the CCES or in the
Global DRO. A lack of industry and government regulation makes it impossible to
confirm their ingredients. Read more: www.cces.ca/supplements

·        
Review the steps of the doping control sample
collection procedures: http://www.cces.ca/en/samplecollection
