Athletes, coaches and other members of the paddle sport community are being invited to participate in the upcoming International Testing Agency (ITA) IF Webinar Series.
Starting next month, the three-part series will offer essential information on clean sport.
Anti-doping will be the topic of discussion in the opening webinar on February 25, with an overview of the rights and responsibilities, anti-doping rule violations, consequences of doping, and proactive reporting.
The second webinar will take place on March 4 when participants will have the chance to learn more about the prohibited list, medications, Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), and supplements, which includes the principle of strict liability.
Testing, which includes the testing procedures and the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), testing pools, and whereabouts, will be on the agenda in the third webinar on March 11.
The webinars will all be available in English, with translations to Arabic, Spanish, French, Russian, and Mandarin.
All participants will receive an IF Webinar Series Certificate, provided they attend at least one webinar live or access the recordings in the IF series toolkit to receive a link to the test following the third webinar.
The test will be open for completion for six weeks following the series, and after passing the test participants will receive their personalised certificate. Upon successfully passing the test, participants will receive their personalised certificate on the following Monday.
You will receive weekly registration status updates for your community from 9 February to 11 March 2026.
