On February 14th, 2025 the Indonesian Sport Nutritionist Association (ISNA) invited IADO to fill the Anti-Doping Education activity at the Advance Level Achievement Sports Nutrition Training. The speaker from IADO who was involved in the activity was Mrs. Kurnia Mar’atus Solichah, S.Gz., M.Gz., Dietitian as presenter of education (PRESI) IADO. The participants attending the Webminar Series were mostly nutritionists and other sports health workers. The material presented was related to basic information on anti-doping and related to specific material on the relationship between doping and food. Nutritionists are part of the Athlete Supporting Personnel (ASP) which also applies to the World Anti-Doping Code.
Anti-doping violations are not only committed when prohibited substances are found in the athlete’s body, but there are 10 other Anti-Doping Rules Violations (ADRV) that are also important for ASP to know. Nutrition assistance for athletes is closely related to the food intake consumed by athletes. There was a case of contamination of prohibited substances that occurred in athletes in China, namely the use of a type of growth hormone injected into animals, the substance is included in the prohibited list. In relation to the case, it was also conveyed to nutritionists to prevent contamination of prohibited substances in food. One of the ways is to ensure that procurement documents and food ingredient specifications are complete and detailed. This activity was welcomed by the participants and also ISNA.
