Message from the Board of Athletics WA:

In April 2017 Athletics WA received a complaint about the conduct of a coach towards other AWA athletes and a coach at a training session at the WA Athletics Stadium. In accordance with the AWA Members Protection Policy, the complaint was fully investigated and found to have been substantiated. As a result, that coach had their accreditation suspended by Athletics Australia and is required to undergo a further training course prior to having their accreditation reinstated. An appeal of that penalty was considered by an Athletics WA Appeal Tribunal and subsequently dismissed in August 2017.

Members of AWA should be confident that inappropriate conduct by other members will not be condoned and that genuine complaints will be dealt with in accordance with the AWA Member Protection Policy.

Athletics WA is proud to confirm eleven officials have been selected for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Queensland.

ASADA has issued a warning about a banned substance called Higenamine which is being found in supplements sold around Australia. In the last year alone, 13 athletes have tested positive to the substance and have faced anti-doping sanctions as a result.
