The numbers tell a bigger story: in 2024, we had 260 violations; the highest globally. But here’s the twist; awareness programs are up, testing labs are being added, and bans are getting stricter.

Either way, clean sports aren’t just about medals; they’re about trust. And right now, that trust is on trial.
