It was with great pleasure that I welcomed the participants to the conference in Lublin. Our aim is to provide knowledge to the widest possible group of people connected with sport,” said Grzegorz Borkowski, head of the Polish Anti-Doping Bureau. – ‘Thanks to the invitation to the conference, I had the opportunity to discuss a number of issues related to possible anti-doping rule violations, which are consequently associated with very severe sanctions for athletes and those around them,’ he added.
