Doping lessons in schools are preparing to merge with the lessons of life safety

What is Mildronate (Meldonium) , EPO and anabolic in Russia will soon be known from school.

According to Deputy Minister of Sport Natalia Zhelanova, 2017 The Ministry of Sports is planning to introduce mandatory lectures on anti-doping in secondary schools, which will be held in the framework of physical education lessons. Development of an educational program, "aimed at changing public opinion to the problem of doping", should be part of the joint plan of the Ministry of Sports and the Council of Europe, whose discussions have been going on since the beginning of May. However, the discussion is not inviting all those responsible for education.

Initiative already supported by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency. Chapter RUSADA Anna Antsiliovich even proposed the introduction of enhanced anti-doping program of activities for those who are enrolled in sports schools.

The Youth Academy, where learning to athletes, it really would have been more relevant - continues Burmatov. - But of those who engage in physical exercise in a regular school, professional athletes will be unity. We and so have serious questions to how physical education classes are held in the majority of Russian schools, and they are held at all. If you want to talk about the dangers of doping to health, I would remind the Ministry of Sports on such subjects as life safety. If so necessary, why not raise this issue when we are talking about the dangers of alcohol or drugs? So far, the "tails" on the anti-doping lessons are drawn only by the sports officials. They have yet to report on dozens of positive doping tests Russian athletes in 2016. A bully students could start at least after the holidays. "
