- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 31: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) related to tests carried out by UKAD in respect of footballers playing in teams subject to the jurisdiction of the Football Association. UKAD provided some information but withheld other information, citing section 31 of FOIA (law enforcement). The Commissioner’s decision is that UKAD appropriately cited section 31 of FOIA and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. However, it breached section 10(1) and 17(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
