The World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) and the International Testing Agency (ITA) partnership offer monthly seminars to Member Federations. This month's event, Nutrition and Clean Sports, is scheduled for Thursday, 25 April. Muaythai world champion, holistic nutrition expert and ITA Education Ambassador Janice Lyn will lead the session. She will provide practical advice and tips from her experience and answer questions live at the end of the session.
The focus will be on supplements, which can be a risk for athletes. Maximising a food-first approach to nutrition and considering lifestyle factors before using supplements can reduce the risk of an inadvertent Anti-Doping Rule Violation.
The webinar is in English. ITA will provide simultaneous translation to four additional languages – Arabic (العربية), Spanish (español), French (français) and Russian (русский).
