Athlete Engagement

AMADA places special importance on making athlete voices heard, putting it at core of its activities. AMADA fully understands how important it is to involve athletes themselves in fight against doping, engage them in collaboration and enabling them to contribute to levelling the playing field.

With this in mind, in 2019 AMADA initiated the establishment of the Athletes’ Advisory Commission as part of its ongoing efforts to increase the cooperation with the athlete community. Its mission is to discuss various aspects of AMADA’s activities and develop recommendations.

The duties of Commission mainly consist of supporting the core mission, leading and managing specific athlete-related projects, serving as a liaison between athletes and AMADA and representing Commission at different anti-doping events. AMADA works together with the Commission on crucial points and emerging anti-doping issues, as well as collaborate to integrate athletes’ opinions and needs in its activities.

The Commission will not only be the forum where the voices of the athletes will be heard and represented, but it will be an important body which will advise AMADA in taking further steps for the future development and promotion of clean sport.
