WADA Athletes Commissioner Dora Heggie "The experiential anti-doping education program developed by KADA was very interesting and impressive. Students seemed to be much more focused than lecture-type education, and I am confident that these programs will play an important role in strengthening the effectiveness of anti-doping education."
Kim Jong-un, a second-year archery student at Busan Sports High School, said "It was fun and good to be able to understand anti-doping by playing archery and yutnori as a team with foreign athletes."I once again felt that it was my real skill to comply with anti-doping regulations and compete fairly under any circumstances." expressed his feelings.
KADA Secretary-General Kim Il-hwan said, `This incident, which was held during the WADA General Assembly, served as an opportunity to spread the culture of clean sports through connection with the local community.' I hope that communication with athletes who played an active role in the international arena such as the Olympics will be a meaningful time for future sports generations to internalize the value of fair sports.'
Meanwhile, KADA plans to cooperate with WADA and the city of Busan to promote 'Asian Youth Clean Sports Camp' as a legacy program at the Busan General Assembly of WADA in the future.
