 ITA's announcement:

Our October monthly webinar is dedicated to "Supplements & Informed Decision-Making Part 2". 

This is the second in a series of two webinars designed to support informed decision-making around supplement use. The session will cover topics such as batch-testing and methods that can be used to select the safest supplements, seeking out expert advice and how to conduct a self-assessment if athletes do not have access to a qualified dietician, and other key points that will help athletes protect themselves from inadvertent doping. The first session discussed food-first approach to training and performance; a recording of the webinar can be found on ita.sport.

Joining us for part two are nutrition expert Catherine Naulleau, a former elite athlete in rowing and Canadian Olympic Team performance dietician at multiple editions of the Olympic Games, from Sochi 2014 to Beijing 2022. Also joining the webinar is Cassie Fien, an international track and field athlete from Australia and member of the Sport Integrity Australia Athlete Advisory Group. Catherine will provide practical tips on the safer use of supplements in sport and Cassie will share her story of testing positive for a prohibited substance from supplement use.

The experts will deliver an interactive presentation and leave time at the end of the webinar to take audience questions.

As always, we are pleased to deliver these webinars in English with simultaneous translation to four additional languages – Arabic (العربي), Spanish (español), French (français) and Russian (русский).
