Did you know? Prescribed doesn’t always mean permitted in sport.

Each year, the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List is updated and medications can change status. While prescribing systems used by doctors support healthcare, they don’t replace sport specific anti-doping checks.

That’s why athletes at all levels should always check medications using Global DRO or the Sport Integrity Australia app.

READ: How to encourage a child to try new, scary things (without traumatising them in the process)

"If your child has ever dug their heels in on the morning of the school athletics or cross country day, or refused to speak in front of the class, you’re not alone.

For some children, these kinds of events bring a heavy, anxious feeling: what if I’m the slowest, what if everyone’s watching, what if I get it wrong?

For parents, it can be hard to know what to do. Push too hard and the morning becomes a meltdown. Let them off and you worry you’ve taught them to opt out."
