As the 2026 rowing season approaches, Rowing Ireland is encouraging all athletes and coaches to take part in two upcoming Clean Sport online sessions, designed to help you avoid common and easily made mistakes around medication, supplements, and testing.
These short, one-hour sessions are practical, clear, and interactive. They are not lectures. Each session includes real-world guidance and an opportunity to ask questions in an open Q&A format.
Whether you are new to competition or preparing for a busy racing season, these sessions will give you confidence in understanding your responsibilities as a clean athlete.
Participants will leave with:
A simple and reliable way to check medications, including everyday cold and flu products, before use
A clear “think twice” framework around supplements and contamination risks
An understanding of what actually happens during anti-doping testing
Your rights and responsibilities during testing procedures
The opportunity to ask questions and clarify uncertainties
Please register to attend:
