“One strike and you are out!”

 

Education is an essential component of any program focused on the development of athletes or those who support them. It is also a mandatory part of an anti-doping program.

Effective prevention and clean sport values-based education programs are important to create a strong doping-free culture. WADA has developed resources for athletes, coaches, doctors and any other person who wishes to know more about anti-doping.
