Don't Get Caught Off Guard: What Every SAMBO Athlete Needs to Know About Testing in 2026

The International SAMBO Federation (FIAS) is working alongside the International Testing Agency (ITA) to ensure that athletes competing at international SAMBO events in 2026 are fully informed about clean sport principles and anti-doping rules before they step onto the mat.

As part of this collaborative effort, the ITA Education Team has prepared a dedicated newsletter aimed at athletes participating in FIAS international competitions throughout the year. The newsletter covers key clean sport information that every competitor should be aware of ahead of testing procedures.

FIAS encourages all members of the SAMBO community to make use of this resource. Clean sport education is an ongoing priority for FIAS. Ensuring that athletes are informed before competing — and before any testing takes place – is a cornerstone of fair and transparent competition at every level of the sport.

The 2026 Clean Sport Information newsletter is available via the ITA's official communication channels. Athletes, coaches, and federation representatives with questions are encouraged to reach out to the ITA Education Team directly.
