Cebu City, Philippines, August 6, 2026: Under the theme "Building Clean Sport Communities," the Philippine National Anti-Doping Organization launched its inaugural Regional Anti-Doping Education Programme in Cebu City from July 31 to August 1.
This marks a significant milestone in expanding anti-doping education across the country and reinforces the Philippines’ commitment to promoting clean sport at the grassroots level.
Over 300 participants gathered for the two-day programme, which featured comprehensive discussions on the fundamentals of anti-doping, athletes’ rights and responsibilities, and the doping control process. These essential topics aim to equip athletes, support personnel and key stakeholders with the knowledge, values and practical tools needed to make informed and ethical decisions in sport.
