On 5 September in Kyiv, at UNIT.City, representatives of the National Anti-Doping Center delivered an educational lecture for participants of the Ukrainian Padel Championship.

During the session, athletes received practical information on key anti-doping rules, athlete responsibilities, risks associated with the use of medicines and dietary supplements, as well as the basic principles of doping control.

Particular attention was paid to situations athletes may face outside the competition venue: how to check medicines, reduce the risk of unintentional anti-doping rule violations, and make informed decisions about substances and products they use.

Delivering educational activities directly at national competitions makes it possible to discuss anti-doping issues in an environment where this knowledge has immediate practical relevance for athletes.

Fair play begins with knowing the rules.
