The Medical Commission of the Ecuadorian Olympic Committee (COE) held a conference on 'Doping Control and Precautions in the Use of Medications', aimed at athletes, coaches, and officials.

The conference, organized to avoid the consumption of prohibited substances that could result in sanctions, was attended by numerous officials, high-performance athletes, senior and junior national team members from different specialties, interdisciplinary teams, among other sports actors.

"The COE's idea is for athletes, coaches, and parents to be knowledgeable about doping. Athletes need to be mentally, physically, and psychologically prepared to reach high performance and achieve their goals," said Pablo Sarmiento, the speaker in charge. (D)
