“I feel it is a honourable cause to share knowledge and to support the protection of athletes from the harmful effects of doping. Education is key to empowering athletes to make better decisions in their sports career and for their long-term well-being. Clean sport means being fair and having a safe competition environment for ethical humans to perform at their best. I am very glad to be part of an active anti-doping system!”
