Which statement about the role of education in anti-doping is correct?

• A. Education programs are part of WADA's activities.
• B. Education is not addressed by WADA.
• C. WADA focuses only on sanctions.
• D. Education programs are part of WADA's activities.

Answer: (D)

Education is used as a frontline tool to prevent doping, not just to punish it. WADA’s approach treats education as a central part of its work, helping athletes, coaches, medical staff, and sports organizations understand prohibited substances, the health risks of doping, and how to manage medications safely. This preventive function is built into their overall strategy, alongside testing and enforcement, so stating that education programs are part of WADA’s activities accurately reflects how they operate. Saying education isn’t addressed or that the focus is only on sanctions would miss the real, broad role WADA plays in promoting clean sport.
