European Athletics is determined to increase its fight against doping. We want to ensure a clean sportand fairness amongst all competitors. One way is to search for cheating athletes through dopingcontrols.

We want to support the true and clean athletes when they start to engage in our sport. We need to showthem that we are ready to help them and to give them guidance to challenge doping. EuropeanAthletics aims to promote education for awareness, knowledge and prevention. Only if the athletesknow the rules and know the danger of doping they can act in the right way.

As a long term goal we desire to contribute with our programme to promote the ideal of fairness andrespect among athletes. We need to fight doping as it is destroying the fundamental principle of oursport: fair play.

Please encourage your athletes to take part in this important programme. Only together we can makeour sport drug free!

All competing athletes will have a chance to take part in an electronic quiz and also to learn with aninteractive education tool to increase their knowledge about doping in our

or at the . The quiz is a multiple choice test whichwill give a detailed explanation in case of wrong answers, while the interactive tool gives the possibilityto learn more about anti-doping procedures and side effects of drugs.
