Testing for substances prohibited in sport is designed to detect and deter doping. Any athlete can be tested at any time. Therefore, it is important all athletes and Athlete Support Personnel understand the process and their rights and responsibilities so when you are, or your athlete is, selected for testing you are informed and prepared.
Our panellists Joël Tettoni, ITA Testing Manager and Richard Driscoll, ITA iDCO Trainer covered what you need to know about testing and provided many practical tips in this interactive webinar.
