Education is a core component of any anti-doping program. The introduction to the 2021 Code includes education in the prevention of intentional and unintentional doping, along with deterrence, detection, enforcement and the rule of law. We believe that as an athlete, your first experience with anti-doping should be through education. Before you are subject to doping control, and before you leave your country for your first competition. Education is everyone’s responsibility.The Oceania Anti-Doping Organization (ORADO), in conjunction with various partners and stakeholders in member countries facilitates provision of education and awareness to athletes and athlete support personnel.
The following topics are covered in the Anti-Doping Education and Awareness programs (Mandatory Topics):
