Deterring Doping in Sport

The Partnership for Clean Competition, a research collaborative founded by the U.S. Olympic Committee, United States Anti-Doping Agency, Major League Baseball and the National Football League, will hold an anti-doping conference entitled The Doping Decision: Deterring Doping in Sport. The event will be held on 1 December, 2011, in New York City, USA.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Director General David Howman will be the keynote speaker.

The conference aims to increase the understanding of the reasons behind an athlete`s decision whether or not to use performance enhancing drugs, and approaches to deter an athlete`s usage, primarily through scientific research-based solutions.
