SAADC organizes the 5th Training Course to qualify Doping Control Officers on Thursday 26 May 2016 over three days at Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Olympic Complex in Riyadh.

During the course, participants will receive theoretical and scientific lectures, in addition to practical workshops from an elite group of WADA-accredited DCOs in Saudi Arabia.

50 DCOs will be qualified by the course, through which they will be armed with the required training that qualifies them to be DCOs after passing the written and practical exams. SAADC seeks to expand the anti-doping domain and increase the number of samples to be tested.

It’s worth-mentioning that SAADC had previously held 4 training courses for qualifying DCOs, some of whom acquired the WADA recognition and became one of the pillars that SAADC relies on in the implementation of the doping control programs at the national and international levels. Moreover, many organizations and international federations seek the assistance of the Saudi DCOs in implementing their doping control programs during international competitions.
