For this reason the Discovery Health UCT/MRC Research Unit of Exercise Science and Sports Medicine, in conjunction with the Institute for Drug Free Sport have put together an informative workshop, which will serve to update sports enthusiasts on the current list of banned substances and procedures.

The workshop will consist of an overview of drugs in sport, a talk on the latest issues and controversies and a presentation on some facts and fallacies related to nutritional aids that supposedly enhance sporting performance.

Experts in the field will give talks
The speakers include Dr Shuaib Manjra, Director of the SA Institute of Drug Free Sport, who will give an overview of the different classes of banned substances and procedures and explain the protocol for drug testing. Dr Ryan Kohler will discuss the controversies in drug testing and drugs in sport. Registered dietician, Amanda Claassen, will discuss an evidence-based approach to nutritional sporting performance enhancers.

The workshop, sponsored by the Institute for Drug Free Sport and supported by the SA Sports Medicine Association (SASMA), will take place on the 10th of May at 6:30 pm in the auditorium of the Sports Science Institute of South Africa.
