The Pledge Statements

I will strive to be excellent by adhering to the spirit of the rules of my sport and by competing to the best of my ability.

• I commit to ensuring that I am informed about the rules that govern my sport and the rights and responsibilities I have with regards to drug testing in my sport.
• I recognise that every opponent is striving for excellence, as I am, and I will honour their efforts by committing to competing free from banned substances.
• I value my own health and the health and safety of those around me while I compete and train.
• I accept that my role as an athlete goes beyond competing in sports. I will promote clean sports to my colleagues and the young people of New Zealand who seek to excel in their sport.
• I commit to maintaining a sports career that is free from banned substances and doping methods and will adhere to all of the declarations contained in this pledge.
