WADA wraps up the year with two additional ‘live’ webinars in December

Agency will have held 51 webinars in 2020

Today, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) publishes its ‘live’ webinar schedule for December, which encompasses webinars being offered as part of the following previously announced series:

  • A series that is part of WADA’s 2021 Code Implementation Support Program (CISP), which was launched on 4 May; and
  • A series that is athlete-led for athletes, which was announced by WADA on 11 June.

With these last two stakeholder webinars, WADA will have held 51 in 2020 – the majority focused on preparing stakeholders for the 2021 World Anti-Doping Code (Code) and International Standards that take effect on 1 January 2021.
