The European University Sports Association (EUSA) has taken part in an anti-doping project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, to continue promoting clean and fair sport.

This was led by the Bulgarian Tennis Federation and composed along with the Polish Tennis Association and Romanian Tennis Federation as well as the University of Vienna, Austrian Institute for Sport Medicine and the EUSA Institute.

This project was started in 2019 under the slogan "Win the match clean" which reviewed anti-doping practices in participating countries, with emphasis on grassroot sport and specifically tennis.

It also developed an ethical code and online educational course, as well as assisting in building an education framework to teach young people about anti-doping.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was extended and completed in June.

The online course is free for all to take, and provides information on clean sport for student-athletes.

Fact of the day

When British skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won the Olympic gold medal in ice dance at Sarajevo 1984 with 12 perfect 6.0s from every judge, for their interpretation of Maurice Ravel's Boléro, an important member of their team was singer-actor Michael Crawford. Crawford, who had played Frank Spencer in British sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and the title role in the musical The Phantom of the Opera, had become a mentor to the pair in 1981 and went on to help them create their Olympic routine. Crawford said he “taught them how to act". He was present with their trainer Betty Callaway at the ringside at Sarajevo as they created one of the most iconic moments in Olympic history.

The Big Read

Pierre de Coubertin once said cricket has "practically no appeal for those who are not British". While he expressed doubts about the Olympic viability of cricket, lacrosse and baseball, Philip Barker wonders how the man who helped revive the modern Games would have reacted to new sports at Los Angeles 2028.
