Resource Update: A Parents’ Guide to Clean Sport In April we released the Parents Guide to Clean Sport online mini-course. The course has been developed by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to help parents: •have a better understanding of the important role they play in teaching their children respect for and appreciation of the true spirit of sport, and •to inform their children about how to protect themselves in their sport career in relation to performance-enhancing drugs and drug use. For young athletes, the pressure to train hard, compete and achieve at the highest level can lead them to think about taking dangerous shortcuts. Extreme dieting, excessive training, taking supplements, and doping are things that may tempt young athletes. Parents or guardians of young athletes have an important role to help their children achieve their sporting goals, while also teaching them respect for and appreciation of the true spirit of sport.
