Get ready for the second edition of ITA’s anti-doping webinars!

Just one week to go for the second edition of the International Testing Agency (ITA) free series of five webinars devoted to anti-doping education. Every Wednesday, from May 22 to June 19, all participants will be able to be briefed and discuss on several topics related to this important subject. For the weightlifting family, this initiative is part of the #ILiftClean campaign and follows joint activities by the IWF and the ITA at our major events.

The five-webinar series starts on May 22 with the theme “Introduction to anti-doping – Overview of the system, rights and responsibilities, ADRVs”. On the following week, participants are invited to discuss “The Doping Control Process – Testing procedures (urine and blood) and ABP”, while the third webinar, on June 5, will deal with “Medications, Supplements, Prohibited List and TUEs (including the principle of Strict Liability)”. Seven days later, the fourth online rendezvous will present the Values, Consequences and Reporting (including decision-making and athlete testimonials. The last webinar, on June 19, will focus on “Out-of-competition testing – Requirements of RTP/TP, whereabouts, and use of ADAMS”.

The five seminars will be held, every Wednesday, from 14h00 to 15h00 (CET time) and will be run in English (with simultaneous translation in Arabic, French, Mandarin Chinese, Russian and Spanish). Those attending all five webinars will receive a final certificate.
