At the opening of the VI International Forum of Young Olympians, Mikhail Degtyarev, Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation, Rodion Plutukhin, Secretary General of the Russian Olympic Committee, and Vladimir Maximov, President of the International Children's Games Committee, expressed their support for clean sport.
For over 5 years, RUSADA has been working with the Russian Olympic Committee to organize educational activities for Young Olympians. Additionally, anti-doping education is an integral part of the "Path to Olympus" program organized by the International Children of Asia Committee.
Today, representatives from RUSADA reminded young athletes that we are always here to support and assist them.
Veronika Loginova, the Director General of RUSADA, said:
“Thanks to the efforts of RUSADA, the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the Ministry of Sports, the number of anti-doping violations decreased by 70% in 2024. This is the result of our extensive educational programs aimed at preventing violations.
Our main goal is to protect the health of athletes and ensure their right to compete in doping-free conditions. We want everyone to feel confident in fair play and have clean and honest victories.
On behalf of RUSADA and the ROC, I would like to congratulate everyone on Children's Day!”
