Education

Education plays a critical role in the fight against doping in sport by making the athletes of today and athletes of tomorrow aware of the health risks and consequences of doping.

Our education programs also seek to instil the values of competing fairly and cleanly as well as providing information about how to avoid inadvertently violating doping rules through ingestion of a common medication.

Education is a key strategy to decrease the number of athletes contemplating doping, reduce inadvertent ADRVs and raise anti-doping awareness throughout the Australian sporting community.

• Athlete Outreach sessions to teach young athletes about their anti-doping responsibilities in a fun, interactive environment, and
