IFSS AntiDoping Training Seminar, September 27-28, 2010 Funäsdalen, Sweden, 15 May, 2010 – IFSS (International Federation of Sleddog Sports) has scheduled a two-day training seminar for prospective Doping Control Officers (DCO) and Assistants (DCA) as well as National AntiDoping Officials for Monday and Tuesday, September 27-28, 2010, in conjunction with its General Assembly to be held near Dublin, Ireland, September 25-26, 2010. All interested persons are welcome to register for this AntiDoping seminar. However, participation is limited to 12 persons, and reservations must be made to IFSS AntiDoping Chair Person Carin Ahlstedt, This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it as soon as possible and at the latest by September 1st. The participants will then receive a list of documents, mainly from the WADA website, which are to be studied in preparation for the training seminar. Interested persons are also requested to copy email IFSS Secretary General, Sally O’Sullivan Bair ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) with their reservation. The seminar itself is free of charge, but accommodation and travel are at the expense of each Federation/participant. The trainer will be Carin Ahlstedt, official DCO trainer for IFSS. The training will conclude with a written test, which is required for those who wish to gain IFSS DCO certification. Candidates who pass the exam must officiate as a DCA at, at the minimum, one approved race event and, preferably under two different DCOs, and upon recommendation from these DCOs, may then apply for an IFSS DCO certificate. In the near future each Federation will be obliged to report on Doping Control of Dogs at minimum in connection with their National Championships and International Events and also report educational work aimed at both athletes and race judges. This means that each Federation – or a group of Federations together in a Region – must nominate both an AntiDoping Official (Contact Person) and at least one Doping Control Officer (DCO) for Dogs to be able to meet these obligations. From the beginning those two positions may be held by the same person as human resources may dictate. However, as soon as possible, each Federation – or each Region – should have different people in the two positions for Results Management reasons. Carin Ahlstedt is also willing to offer her services to come and hold training seminars on a national or regional basis as well, possibly together with some of the other already certified DCOs, if they get travel and accommodation costs covered by the organizer. However, offering this training seminar in conjunction with the IFSS GA will hopefully provide the opportunity to coordinate the AntiDoping Education and attendance as a delegate at the GA. |
