FIAS Athletes’ Commission invites SAMBO athletes around the world to PLAY SAFE
Since 2014, on 9th of April, WADA and the anti-doping community worldwide have celebrated ‘Play True Day’ - a day that is dedicated to Clean Sport and is intended to raise awareness among athletes, the sporting public and others about the importance of protecting Clean Sport.

This year, given the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having around the globe, WADA is seizing the opportunity to engage the global anti-doping community – and all stakeholders in the fight to protect Clean Sport – in solidarity around the theme Play Safe on Play True Day 2020, asking them to share what they are doing and why to curb the spread of the virus.
Following to celebration of Whitecard campaign on April 6th, FIAS Athletes Commission Chairperson Laure FOURNIER encourages athletes with words:
“You, me, we all know of amazing stories of how sports have helped people in their lives. It contributes on a daily basis to peace by bringing people together, around the same goal, the same passion shared with no difference in gender, religion, skin color, social class... On the field or on a mat, we're all equal and all together...In this time of crisis we see more than ever that people need sport in their lives, and they find ways to continue doing sports together, as events on social media, sharing their daily routine to help those lacking ideas, sharing tutorials... Sport has never been such a big part of life as it has become since the beginning of the confinement. Continue sharing your ideas, your tips, spread the word and keep physically fit as it is so important to then be mentally fit!”
Sport is playing a big part in overcoming this difficult period, so keep going!
Support to all athletes staying at the moment home from all of us Athletes Commission:
