The International SAMBO Federation (FIAS), in partnership with the International Testing Agency (ITA), is pleased to present the fourth series of anti-doping education webinars.

This educational initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to promoting clean sport principles, protecting athletes' rights, and raising awareness of anti-doping regulations throughout the SAMBO community.

The education program will run from February 25 to March 11. The series consists of three online sessions covering key aspects of anti-doping rules.

The first webinar, “Introduction to Anti-Doping”, scheduled for February 25, will provide an overview of rights and responsibilities, anti-doping rule violations, consequences of doping, and proactive disclosure procedures.

The second session on March 4 will focus on the Prohibited List, medications, Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), supplements, and the principle of strict liability.

The final webinar on March 11 will cover testing procedures, the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), testing pools, and whereabouts requirements.
