ASADA Pure Performance Seminars

ASADA Pure Performance Seminars are a high quality anti-doping education program designed to deter Australia’s athletes and support personnel from engaging in prohibited doping practices.

ASADA highly recommends sporting organisations promote attendance at ASADA Pure Performance Seminars to their athletes and support personnel, as it presents an excellent opportunity to receive face to face anti-doping education from ASADA.

Athletes and support personnel are reminded that though ASADA plays a key role in Anti-Doping education, under the World Anti-Doping Code it is the responsibility of the individual to be knowledgeable of and comply with all applicable anti-doping policies and rules adopted pursuant to the Code.
