The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF), in collaboration with the International Testing Agency (ITA) and the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF), is pleased to announce details of the forthcoming Anti-Doping webinar series that will take place online from late September through to early October this year, as part of the ITA-ARISF Clean Sport Education Initiative.
