LAUSANNE, March 15, 2025 – Following the timely intervention of AIPS, other national Associations and colleagues, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has amended the terms and conditions it has set for the media representatives interested in attending its Annual Symposium next week in Switzerland. The event is set for 18-19 March at the SwissTech Convention Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland.
AIPS President Gianni Merlo had fruitful exchange of opinions with WADA’s Spokesman and Head of Media Relations James Fitzgerald on Saturday. The conversation was open and at the end it was agreed to submit a new document for the accreditation process.
WADA has confirmed it believes in the importance of the independence and freedom of press and AIPS is glad that in the future this cooperation will continue.
