Stop doping - Swim Fare
Stop Doping – Swim Fair!” is a European-wide strategic partnership project aiming to raise the knowledge and awareness of doping use in the swimming world.
Summary
“Stop Doping – Swim Fair!”is a European-wide strategic partnership between 8 Sport and Sport Research organisations, which aims to raise the knowledge and awareness of the doping use in the swimming world, by a conducted comprehensive research and selection of good practices; development of an innovative “Modular Doping-education Program“ and Guidelines for Swimming organisations and relevant stakeholders.
Objectives
Along with racism, discrimination, and match-fixing, doping represents one of the most serious threats to the sport. We believe that having a code of conduct in the athlete’s sport is a mandatory prerequisite. Being a healthy athlete is the state of mind one should encourage in all young people.The Bulgarian Swimming Federation’s goal is to promote swimming across the country, support national swimmers, and empower young generations to engage in this noble sport.
Implementation
Our main focus is three-folded – anti-doping, education, and early warning/prevention.SDOP four core objectives:1. Early prevention: educate 10-18 years old swimmers2. Fight disinformation: multiplier events3. Health preservation: protect 10-18 years old swimmers and guide sport organizations4. Doping elimination: create a safe sports environment for all
Results
In accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code, a number of innovative aspects are developed throughout the project. The collaborative partners’ work resulted in the production of the following Intellectual outputs: “Modular Doping-education Program“, the Creation of a group of 16 SDOP Ambassadors, the creation of SDOP Guidelines, and a Comprehensive Research on the subject.Because with doping, there is no Maybe. There is only a will – and no coming back.
