The 2024 Annual Symposium of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) took place last week in Lausanne, Switzerland. The event gathered more than 1,100 participants from the global anti-doping community, under this year’s theme: ‘One Mission – One Team’.
Among the attendees was FAI Anti-Doping Manager Kamila Vokoun Hájková who shared her insights from attending the event:
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has recently made updates to its List of Prohibited Substances and Methods. These updates will come into effect on 1 January 2024.
The WADA Prohibited List is a crucial component of the World Anti-Doping Code, to which all Signatories, including the FAI, must adhere. The list specifies the substances and methods that are prohibited in both in-competition and out-of-competition settings, as well as the substances that are banned altogether.
At a special ‘Fly Clean’ stand at the recent 4th FAI World Indoor Skydiving Championships in Slovakia, FAI and the Slovak Anti-Doping Agency (SADA) helped to raise awareness and open discussion about doping-free sport amongst the competitors.
