Engaging university students is indeed the perfect way to promote drug-free sport values to future sport leaders and professionals. The FISU-WADA Anti-Doping Programme strives to create a drug-free environment by means of educational sessions in universities. To this end, the two international organisations have jointly developed a set of teaching material including an e-textbook, the updated version of which will be made available in the fall.
