The Ladies European Tour (LET) have announced the introduction of its anti-doping policy which comes fully into effect for the 2008 season.

The LET has appointed Sporting Integrity, a company run by Michele Verroken - former director of anti-doping at UK Sport - to manage the policy.

Alexandra Armas, executive director of the LET, said: "We are not aware that any of our members have used performance enhancing drugs, but it is vital for the integrity of our sport that we implement this strategy in order to eliminate any temptation that may exist."

In preparation for the implementation of the Tour's policy, the LET on Wednesday launched its Anti-Doping Advice Card at a player meeting in Malmo, Sweden.

The card gives details of permitted substances for common medical conditions and advice on how to avoid inadvertent doping issues.

South African legend Gary Player caused a storm at this year's Open Championship by claiming he knew "for a fact" that players were taking drugs.

There are plans for dope testing to be introduced on tours around the world next season and Player made it clear he thinks it cannot come soon enough.

Asked if he would be surprised by any positive findings the 71-year-old said: "No, it would not surprise me because I know - I know for a fact - that there are golfers, whether it's HGH (human growth hormone), creatine or steroids, that are doing it."
