On January 29, the National Anti-Doping Center held its first webinar of the year for athletes included in the Registered Testing Pool (RTP) and Testing Pool (TP). The event marked the start of a series of free webinars as part of the Center’s educational program, implemented in line with the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Code and the WADA International Standard for Education.

During the webinar, participants received practical guidance on submitting whereabouts information, using the ADAMS system, and the criteria for inclusion in the RTP/TP. Special attention was given to athletes’ rights and responsibilities, as well as tools to help avoid inadvertent anti-doping rule violations. Athletes also had the opportunity to clarify all aspects of their obligations within the anti-doping control system.

NADC experts emphasized that understanding anti-doping rules and procedures is the most reliable way to safeguard a career and uphold fair play. Raising athletes’ awareness remains a top priority for the Center, as only knowledge of the rules ensures safe competition and achievement of results.

Fair play starts with knowledge!
