The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has declared April 11, 2025, as Fair Sport Day worldwide. According to Sport24.az, Fair Sport Day, dedicated to clean sport values, aims to raise awareness among athletes, the sports community, and others about the global fight against doping.
Every athlete should know that success achieved should only and only be the result of their hard work, discipline, and skill. Doping agents can provide short-term advantages, but they seriously damage an athlete's career, health, and reputation. The names of our athletes who fought bravely and honestly in the sports history of Azerbaijan are written in golden letters. Our Olympic and world champions, our athletes who raise our flag in international arenas, are a true example. We must continue this tradition and work harder to instill in the new generation of athletes that integrity in sports is a fundamental value. We are all responsible for fair and clean sports. Let's make sports fairer, more meaningful, and brighter together.
It should be noted that WADA has been holding Fair Sport Day every April since 2014. The significant day, celebrated on different dates in April, falls on April 11 this year. Fair Sport Day has been celebrated specifically for 11 years now.
