Under the World Anti-Doping Code’s new International Standard for Education, which came into effect on 1 January 2021, the Australian Weightlifting Fderation is required to ensure that Australian weightlifters and support personnel receive anti-doping education.
Accordingly, members of Weightlifting Tasmania must now be aware that if you intend to compete at State Championship level, or to compete in the AWF Under 23 Championships or higher, you are required to receive anti-doping education provided by Sport Integrity Australia (SIA).
Furthermore, Weightlifting Tasmania encourages all members who are club level athletes or coaches to also undertake anti-doping education to promote Weightlifting as a clean sport and to reduce the risk of inadvertent doping.
