CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY, Switzerland (June 19) --- United World Wrestling (UWW) has placed a strong emphasis on upholding the integrity of competitions and promoting Clean Wrestling. In collaboration with the International Testing Agency (ITA), UWW has launched a series of five webinars focused on anti-doping.

The series commences July 6, with one-hour webinars being held every week during July. The topics cover all essentials aspects of anti-doping for athletes and athletes support personnel, from the doping control processes to medication and supplements, or the principles and values of clean sport. 

UWW asks that all that all athletes in the 2023 Senior World Championships be able to demonstrate basic knowledge on anti-doping, by either attending all five webinars and obtaining their final certificate, or by showing a training certificate obtained from another recognized organization (National Anti-doping Organizations or WADA’s Adel education platform). 

“Our fight for clean sport is a permanent commitment, and education is an essential component of this fight,” said Mr Lalovic. “I already thank all wrestlers who take their responsibilities in this regard.”

The links to the webinars can be found here. Simultaneous translation from English to Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. 

The course is open to athlete and athletes support personnel from all ages, in all styles and disciplines (Olympic styles, Associated Styles).
