SAIDS collaborated with SASCOC to celebrate Olympic Day by engaging athletes on two things that define true champions: Olympic values and clean sport.

We shared the heart of Olympism, Excellence, Respect, Friendship and how anti-doping protects those values. No shortcuts, no compromises. Just fair play, hard work, and integrity from the first training session to the podium.

Proud to stand with SA athletes who choose to every day. The Olympic dream starts with fair play.

SAIDS is collaborating with the Biokinetics Association of South Africa at North West University, Potchefstroom. We unpacked the critical role biokineticists play in the athlete entourage: understanding anti-doping responsibilities, guiding safe rehab & exercise, and helping athletes compete clean.

When practitioners are informed, athletes are protected. Thanks to BASA and NWU for prioritizing integrity in athlete support.

To every biokineticist: your knowledge keeps sport fair and athletes safe. AthleteSupportPersonnel

SAIDS joined the South Western District u16 & u18 girls teams for an anti-doping workshop this week. We covered key topics: player rights & responsibilities, supplement risks, medication checks, the testing process, and why keeping rugby clean protects careers and health.

These young athletes are putting in the hard work on the field and off it. Massive respect for asking smart questions and taking ownership of clean.
Play tough, play fair, play clean.

Players, tag your teammate and drop one thing you learned about staying clean.

SAIDS had an anti doping education engagement with athletes at the SA Wrestling Beast of the East tournament in Pretoria. We broke down the real dangers and consequences of doping, plus how to avoid inadvertent doping, supplement risks, med checks, and the golden rule: when in doubt, check it out.

Respect to every wrestler who hit the mats and took the message seriously. Real strength is equal to discipline, technique, and integrity.

Thanks to SA Wrestling for backing clean sport.
