Register to ITA Webinars Series on Clean Sport

Advocating integrity, caring for the welfare of athletes, supporting sporting organisations in their efforts to maintain hard earned reputations for fair play; the International Testing Agency (ITA) is hosting a series of webinars, inviting the entire table tennis family.

The aim crystal clear: to advance the cause of keeping sport clean.

Next on the agenda is: “Medications, Supplements, Prohibited List and TUEs”

• How to navigate the Prohibited List and check your medications?
• Thinking about using supplements?
• What is a Therapeutic Use Exemption?
• What is the principle of Strict Liability?
• As a high-performance athlete or athlete support personnel, you need to know the answers to these questions.

Players, coaches and all involved are strongly advised to attend the webinars; conducted in English, simultaneous translation being available in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. Those who attend all five sessions will receive a certificate from the ITA.
