Project Overview
The NODOPE project is an Erasmus+ Sport initiative designed to combat doping by creating a documentary featuring first-person accounts from former doping users. It addresses the need for a shift from reactive criminal justice approaches to preventive strategies that emphasize self-control and cognitive understanding of the consequences of doping.
The overall aim of NODOPE is to deter athletes from doping by showcasing the devastating effects of doping through relatable, self-reported experiences. This project seeks to create a heart-to-heart connection with athletes, offering a powerful deterrent through the shared experiences of those who have faced the consequences of doping.
