AMPLIFYING VOICES
'clean' has multiple meanings
The Clean Sport Alliance presents a series of videos on the topic of Clean Sport. Since 2019 we have invited international athletes and athlete support personnel to voice their thoughts and opinions on clean sport and anti-doping. Here they tell us in their own words about the challenges of competing 'clean' and supporting clean athletes.
The videos show that ‘clean sport’ is a complex notion with multiple interacting segments. They highlight both the similarities and the differences between them. Their sentiment suggests that they share a 'clean' identity, but each have their own individual take on what performance-enhancing methods and behaviours are regarded as ‘clean’.
