The ISSF invites its Member Federations, athletes, coaches and stakeholders to take note of the upcoming International Federation (IF) Webinar Series – Edition 1 (2026), organised by the International Testing Agency (ITA).
The series will begin on 25 February and forms part of the ongoing global effort to strengthen anti-doping education and awareness across the international sport community. The ISSF encourages all National Federations to actively promote participation within their communities and to support the dissemination of this important educational initiative.
The webinar series consists of three sessions covering key anti-doping topics, including an introduction to anti-doping principles, the Prohibited List and Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs), and testing procedures, including the Athlete Biological Passport and whereabouts requirements.
Each webinar will take place from 14:00 to 15:00 CET. A single registration grants participants access to all three webinars, as well as recordings and supporting educational materials. The sessions will be delivered in English with simultaneous interpretation available in Arabic, French, Mandarin Chinese, Russian and Spanish, making the programme accessible to a global audience.
Participants who attend at least one webinar live, or who follow the recordings and complete the post-series test available through the IF Series Toolkit, will receive an official IF Webinar Series Certificate. The test will remain open for six weeks following the conclusion of the series, with certificates issued upon successful completion.
