Following the successful Autumn 2023 IF Anti-Doping Webinar series, the International Testing Agency and the International Handball Federation are pleased to share the upcoming IF Anti-Doping Webinar Series Edition #2 starting on Wednesday 22 May 2024. 

A new series of webinars hosted by the International Testing Agency (ITA), which will take place every Wednesday from 22 May to 19 June are ready to deliver crucial information about the anti-doping fight and offer insights into how to best avoid contact with banned substances.. 

The ITA aims to reach members of the sporting community who may not have had access to anti-doping education previously, and provide partner organisations with educational resources to support and strengthen existing programmes. 

It is the hope that the education will reach and benefit those sports administrators who have previously not been exposed to anti-doping initiatives but would benefit from the knowledge, as well as athletes, athlete support personnel, and members of national federations and Athletes’ Commissions. 

The weekly programme for the webinars is as follows:
Wednesday, 22 May, 14:00 CET: Introduction to anti-doping - register HERE
Wednesday, 29 May, 14:00 CET: The Doping Control Process - register HERE
Wednesday, 5 June, 14:00 CET: Medications, Supplements, Prohibited List and TUEs - register HERE
