UNESCO Highlights Cuba’s Work in Anti-Doping Fight

Havana – Cuba’s contribution to the fight against doping in sport marked the sessions of the working group in charge of preparing operational guidelines for the International Convention against this scourge in UNESCO.

According to the portal of the sports publication Jit, the Cuban permanent delegation in that institution reviewed the work of Dr. Victor Cabrera, Vice President of the Working Group for Latin America and the Caribbean, with extensive experience in the promotion of educational and anti-doping prevention projects.

Cuba attaches special importance to the promotion and defense of public policies that protect the integrity and ethics of sport and its athletes, including their health, aspects that the Convention also encourages to apply among its members.

The Anti-Doping Laboratory, created at the initiative of the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, to protect the national sports movement, is one of the most irrefutable examples of the Caribbean country’s fight against doping in sport.
