Conferences like 'Anti doping in Sports' help us see sports in a different light. Players create a high in the hearts of onlookers. Sports create joy; they unite people. Today, sports are played like wars. It is our responsibility to nurture competition with values & compassion. pic.twitter.com/Jqk7r8nMSP

Other than the 5 elements of our nature, it’s sports that connect us across all continents and it’s important for us to keep sports clean. We talk about keeping the environment clean, clean energy and water, but we also need to talk about keeping our sports clean.@SriSri pic.twitter.com/1LojFpvw27

The key objective the conference was to discuss how the different stakeholders can find practical means to encourage and ensure that all aspects of sports are clean and ethical.
The event also saw the conferment of the WFEB Ethics in Sports Award to Mr. David Walsh, noted sports journalist and writer from Ireland.
