FIAS is organising the series of Anti-Doping Educational Webinars

Education is one of the key prevention strategies highlighted in the World Anti-Doping Code and one that we can continue strengthening and promoting even during a period when we are not able to engage in face-to-face learning activities during SAMBO events. Therefore, the FIAS created an online learning experience in order to continue its education efforts during the COVID-19 crisis. These webinar series aims at giving athletes, coaches and their support personnel an overview of all aspects of the doping prevention.

“The first webinar was launched on 20 of May for members of SAMBO Union of Asia exclusively. We welcomed 44 coaches, athletes and representatives of National SAMBO Federations. At the webinar we focused on current recommendations related to worldwide pandemic crisis and possible return on the SAMBO mats, key elements to stay fit physically and mentally, implementation of new medical rules such as needle policy or mandatory pre-event examination and many others. We also shared with the attendees the tips for online educational courses which are as well accessible from our website,” – Kamila Vokoun Hajkova, FIAS Project Manager said.

FIAS will inform new participants shortly about the second webinar via official email addresses of their National SAMBO Federations.
