The three-day training workshop is being facilitated by expert trainers from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES). Delegates from ten different countries will take part in the sessions which will empower them to confidently execute sample collection processes and support the anti-doping efforts in their respective territories, and across the region.

The training workshop comes at a crucial time as countries prepare to execute their doping control testing and anti-doping education programmes ahead of a busy 2026 sporting calendar which includes the CAC Games in the Dominican Republic, the Commonwealth Games in Scotland and the Youth Olympic Games in Senegal.

The main objective of the training is to build capacity for anti-doping programmes throughout the region in the area of testing. Participants will acquire the theoretical background and practical skills necessary to meet all requirements of sample urine collection in sport in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code and the applicable International Standards.
