The International University Sports Federation and the World Anti-Doping Agency teamed up in developing an anti-doping program for university sports.<\/p>\n
FISU secretary general and chief executive officer Eric Saintrond, in a letter sent to all member federations including the CNMI, said the program was officially launched in the 28th Summer Universiade in Gwangju, South Korea after successfully testing it last year.<\/p>\n
FISU and WADA helped the Gwangju Universiade Organizing Committee with the program in the July 3 to 14 Games.<\/p>\n
Saintrond, in the letter, said the anti-doping program is important since it supports FISU\u2019s mission and values of a clean sport, fair play, ethics, and education.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt also illustrates FISU\u2019s specificity as being the unique international organization that brings together the sport movement and the academic world by promoting the \u2018dual career\u2019 principles and benefits,\u201d said Saintrond.<\/p>\n
Saintrond added that they are encouraging all universities and other learning institutions to also include anti-doping measures and programs in their curriculum.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe FISU-WADA anti-doping program has entered its implementation phase and awareness has to be raised about it. Therefore, we would like to request your support in promoting it amongst your academic partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
FISU has more than 100 member nations including the CNMI, which became part of the program in 2009.<\/p>\n
Last July, long-distance runner Seiya Eda represented the CNMI in the Gwanju Universiade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
