GUYANA HOSTS REGIONAL ANTI-DOPING TRAINING WORKSHOP
Guyana is this week hosting a three-day Regional Anti-Doping Training Workshop, organized in collaboration with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the Caribbean Regional Anti-Doping Organisation (RADO).

The timing of the event comes as Caribbean athletes prepare for a packed 2026 sports calendar, including the CAC Games in the Dominican Republic, the Commonwealth Games in Scotland, and the Youth Olympic Games in Senegal.
