Drugs In Sport

EDM number 415 in 1989-90, proposed by Menzies Campbell on 31/01/1990.

That this House notes with dismay and alarm events at the Commonwealth Games in Auckland which have resulted in competitors from the United Kingdom being tested positively for drugs; expresses its concern at the failure of Her Majesty's Government to bring anabolic steroids within the scope of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and to make their possession and supply criminal offences; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to cease in its procrastination and either to introduce legislation for this purpose or to endorse the Private Member's Bill of the honourable Member for Fife North East due for Second Reading on Friday 2nd March, which is to the same effect.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
