Namibia Anti-Doping

Highlights from Yesterday’s Team Namibia Athletes Engagement Workshop & Team Building Event 🇳🇦

Yesterday was an inspiring day of learning, collaboration, and team building as Team Namibia athletes and officials came together in preparation for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow at Arebbusch Travel Lodge, Windhoek.

ADNA was honoured to facilitate an Anti-Doping session under the theme “Protecting Yourself and Your Team.” We discussed the importance of clean sport, athletes’ rights and responsibilities, informed decision-making, and the role each member of Team Namibia plays in safeguarding the integrity of sport.

Other facilitator’s presented on Media and communication, Safeguarding, Mental Health and wellbeing, prevention of manifestation of competition.

Thank you to all the athletes and team officials for your active participation, thoughtful discussions, and commitment to representing Namibia with integrity, respect, and excellence.

Together, we are building a stronger, cleaner, and more united Team Namibia. Wishing our athletes every success as they continue their journey to Glasgow 2026!

Anti-Doping Namibia - ADNA hosted an anti doping education session with the Welwitschias team.

We covered the
1. Anti-doping rules – What’s prohibited & why
2. Doping Control process – What is expected from players when selected for in-competition and out-of-competition testing.
3. Medication check – Always check before you take it.
4. TUE application process - How to do it the right way.
5. ⁠Supplements - the danger of use supplements as they are never safe.

Players were reminded of No shortcuts and that playing the game the right way starts long before kick-off. 🏉

To wrap up an incredible O! Yes Day, our Anti-Doping team hosted a fun and interactive quiz based on everything shared at the engagement booth throughout the day.

A big congratulations to our quiz winners! 🏆👏 Your attentiveness and enthusiasm paid off.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, asked questions, and learned more about clean sport. Together, we’re building a culture of fair play and integrity.

Strength of our diversity! O! Yes to Sport, O! Yes to Culture O! Yes to Education, O! Yes to Community and O! Yes to Namibia.

As we celebrate our culture through dance, let us also celebrate clean sport. Just as our traditions are built on honesty and respect, every athlete should compete with integrity and say no to doping. Together, let’s keep sport fair, healthy, and true to our values.
