Anti-doping

The PNG Sports Anti-doping Organisation, in partnership with Sports Drug Testing International, carried out the session, which was conducted by three ‘Play True Pasifik’ anti-doping educators in training: Dr. Bernie Amof, Ilaita Gigimat and Richard Ora, including OSEP coordinator, Alurigo Ravusiro.

Athletics PNG is strongly advising athletes against the uninformed use of supplements and drugs.

This is important with the numerous international events that PNG Athletics are participating in to avoid positive doping and drug tests.

Doping Control Officers Janet Gimots and Kylie Martins, from the National Sports Institute in Goroka, Eastern Highlands Province, are available to assist athletes with anti-doping queries.

All athletes should check with Athletics PNG High Performance and Doping Control Officers before taking any supplements.
