Medical practitioners in the country have been urged to familiarise themselves with Anti-doping matters to ensure they play their rightful role in the fight against doping. Mandu revealed that the sensitisation targeting medical practitioners will be conducted countrywide to ensure all personnel are adequately sensitised. Therefore, we feel it is extremely important to sensitise this group on some of the issues around anti-doping. Other times we have come across athletes who present forged medical documents during their defence in court. Most of those documents, we have established, are given by clinical officers who may be doing it to assist the athlete without any knowledge of the repercussions,” said Shibutse.
