Abstract

Maintaining the edge against those athletes who chose to cheat at sport through doping is a tough business. In Australia, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) is charged with developing a sporting culture free from doping in which performance is based on an athlete's talent, determination, courage and honesty. One of ASADA's priorities is to protect clean athletes, and the sports in which they compete, through comprehensive education around risks and the repercussions of doping. During this session, ASADA will provide the group with: an outline of ASADA mission statement and the Deterrence, Detection and Enforcement strategy; an overview of ASADA's education strategy and plan; where sports support personnel fit into our education strategy; clarify the responsibilities of support personnel under the WADA code; highlight the importance of research and its use in ASADA programs.
