The online course with translations into Russian Sign Language (RJ) is designed to help athletes with hearing impairments understand anti-doping regulations and the anti-doping system.
This course will benefit not only athletes, but also coaches, doctors, parents, and other family members of athletes with hearing difficulties.
RUSADA, the Russian Anti-Doping Agency, prioritizes equality of opportunity for athletes to participate in sports competitions and equal access to anti-doping education. In 2023, RUSADA initiated the development of an online course specifically for athletes with hearing impairments based on international best practices in anti-doping education.
We believe that knowledge of anti-doping rules can help athletes avoid accidental violations. We support clean sports and encourage all athletes to take responsibility for their actions.
