The AFLD is at Club France, in the Grande halle de la Villette, throughout the Paris 2024 Games to meet athletes, the sporting movement and its partners. At the same time, the AFLD and the International Testing Agency (ITA) are working with Paris 2024 on a daily basis, within the anti-doping coordination and command centre, to ensure that anti-doping tests and investigations are carried out properly throughout the Olympic Games.
As part of the international evening organised by the CNOSF and its President David Lappartient, the AFLD brought together Witold Banka, Olivier Niggli, Valérie Fourneyron and Benjamin Cohen, the Presidents and Directors General of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the ITA, for an open discussion on the Games’ anti-doping programme, in the presence of Béatrice Bourgeois, the President of the AFLD.
On this occasion, Thomas Bach, President of the IOC, and Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024, came to the AFLD area to pay tribute to the anti-doping community’s commitment to clean Games. The French Minister for Sport and the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Amélie Oudéa-Castera, also met with the representatives of the anti-doping institutions present to ensure the smooth running of the Olympic programme.
