USADA team up to provide education to weightlifters globally
The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF), USA Weightlifting (USAW) and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) are combing resources to provide anti-doping education to weightlifting athletes and athlete support personnel around the globe. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the three entities to launch a new Learning Management System in time for compulsory use at the 2018 IWF World Championships, to be held in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, November 1-10. USADA will provide its world-leading educational tutorials as the basis for the courses which are required in order to participate at the World Championships. USA Weightlifting will coordinate production of the new online education platform, leveraging its experience of implementing policies that require athletes to complete anti-doping training prior to competing at national events.
