Anti-Doping
It has been a busy year for Sri Lanka Cricket, with multiple events happening under a global pandemic situation. But we had everything planned meticulously including the anti-doping program.
To address the risk of inadvertent and intentional doping violations Sri Lanka Anti-Doping Agency (SLADA) helped our Medical committee, to conduct a series of education and awareness programs.
All our National Squads including U-19, National men’s and women’s teams were educated and made aware of the risks of doping and key points remember always prior to travel for events.
We are grateful to SLADA in helping us keep a level playing field.
