Bahamas Anti-Doping Commission - BADC

From the field to the classroom… we’re making an impact beyond sport! 💙🏀🥗

On May 21, the Bahamas Anti-Doping Commission proudly launched the FIRST stop of our Community Service Initiative in partnership with NSA Bahamas at Sybil Strachan Primary School! 🙌🇧🇸

Students were treated to sports equipment, a healthy lunch, and lots of positive energy as we continue encouraging healthy lifestyles, teamwork, and community engagement among our youth. 💪✨

This special initiative was created with the goal of giving back to communities and inspiring the next generation both on and off the field.

And guess what? This is only STOP #1 of 3! Stay tuned as we continue spreading smiles, support, and the spirit of clean sport across The Bahamas. 🌴☀️

Our Education Associate, Lael, spent some time with the Bahamas Chess Federation this past weekend sharing insights on anti-doping!

A brief talk on supplements, safety and staying clean from an athlete’s perspective with Olympian Andretti Bain 🌟

Every athlete needs to know these 4️⃣ things to stay in the game and protect their career:

1. Strict Liability - you are responsible for everything that enters your body.
2. Check Before You Take - use GlobalDro.com
3. Tested Anytime, Anywhere - testing can happen when you least expect it
4. Anti-Doping Rule Violations - it’s more than just a positive test.

Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay clean.
