The International Triathlon Union (ITU) Anti-doping Team would like coaches of elite and recreational athletes to be aware that the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) has launched an online tool for them called CoachTrue.
WADA has created a series of tools to assist anti-doping organisations, coaching associations and international federations in providing anti-doping education to coaches. ITU notes that coaches have an important role to play in ensuring that their athletes are not tempted by doping.
The Elite athlete version of CoachTrue is a computer-based anti-doping learning tool, in order to cater to the various learning styles and demanding schedules of coaches.
There are also modules for coaches of young or recreational-level athletes. In the recreational-level module of CoachTrue there are tutorials, scenario-based activities, and tools for coaches to test their knowledge of anti-doping issues.
