Laure is spreading following news with other SAMBO athletes:

“Us Athletes also had dedicated sessions to discuss the Anti-Doping Charter of Athletes' Rights, the upcoming new App "Athlete Central" for the ADAMS program, which is much more user-friendly and convenient than the current app and planned to go out in the Summer 2019”.

Laure also told about participating in inspiring round tables: “Sport, Athletes and Human rights (How can we help human rights advance through sports?)” and “Governance & Representation of Athletes at WADA but also across governing bodies worldwide”.

“The whole session has a following motto which should be applied between us athletes in SAMBO: Building the future of sports together, as a team!” - said Laure Fournier.
