Agency steps-up anti-doping efforts

The National Anti-Doping (NADO) office together with the Regional Anti-Doping Organisation held a media training workshop this week. During the workshop, it emerged that most of the athletes test positive unaware.

The workshop was aimed at teaching the media fraternity about issues of doping and its effect on sports and athletes. Speaking during the workshop, Africa Zone VI for Regional Anti-Doping Organisation, Andrew Kamanga said the aim was to take the media through issues of prohibited substances, therapeutic use exemptions and the dangers of doping.
