This video delves into the complex world of anti-doping, a critical yet often unseen part of professional sports. While the headlines usually focus on high-profile athletes caught breaking the rules, there’s an ongoing battle behind the scenes to keep sports clean, fair, and safe. Organizations like WADA and the International Testing Agency work tirelessly to uphold integrity by identifying those who attempt to cheat through doping.
Join us as we lift the veil on this “silent war,” exploring how anti-doping agencies operate, the phases of doping control, the difference between in-competition and out-of-competition testing, and the crucial role of the Athlete Biological Passport. We also hear from key figures like Nikki Hamblin and Jake Shelley, gaining insight into the challenges and strategies used to protect the sports we love.
