One of the presentations was given by Jacob Baty from <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.usantidoping.org/misc/drug_information.aspx">USADA</a> (US Anti-Doping Agency). He did a great job of giving valuable information about serious subject matter, while being entertaining as well. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>The USADA website has a load of valuable information, for you to peruse and perhaps share with others. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>You may not be going to the Olympics; but, are you clean? </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>One of the features of the site is a <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.usantidoping.org/dro/">drug reference online</a>, where you can put in the brand name of any medications you might be taking to see if they are banned or not.
