Drug-Free Sport ZA

Drug-Free Sport ZA The SA Institute for Drug-Free Sport’s core focus is to tackle doping in sport in order to foster a culture of ethics & fair play.

The Drug-Free Sport Act gives SAIDS authority to carry out drug testing and provide education services nationally. Testing is an integral part of protecting clean athletes, but we firmly believe that an athlete's first encounter with anti-doping should be through anti-doping education. We therefor offer a range of in-person and online/ electronic education resources to empower athletes and their support personnel to make informed choices regarding doping / anti-doping. Our "I PLAY FAIR" campaign is in support of clean athletes and those who hero the values of true sportsmanship. We aim to engage our sporting heroes in particular to pledge their support for the education and doping control efforts towards keeping sport 'clean, to be proud of playing their part and in doing so, help set a good example for the younger generation. We all play a role in creating a values-based, drug-free sports culture all South Africans can be proud of.

SAIDS was honoured to join the panel discussions at the Arise Women for Africa Symposium, hosted by for Social Change Network.

The focus - Making sure anti-doping education reaches women in sport, especially in rural areas.

We spoke about:
1. Why it matters - Every woman athlete deserves to know her rights, responsibilities, and the health risks of doping
2. Closing the gap - Taking education programs out of cities and into schools, clubs, and communities
3. Working together - Partnering with organizations like Sport for Social Change Network to make clean sport accessible to all

At SAIDS, we believe clean sport starts with informed athletes. And no athlete should be left behind because of where she lives or plays.
