The ninth Hattrick VI meeting of the season was held at the Mapei Football Center, the programme from UEFA active since 2001 which asks all European football federations to carry out antidoping education, alongside NADO, for all male and female football and futsal national teams, as well as all clubs participating in European leagues. This session focused on the young athletes and the medical and technical staff of the Sassuolo U19s, who are participating in the Youth League this season. The session covered the risks associated with illicit substances and promoted a sporting culture based on loyalty, integrity and respect for the rules. Paolo Nucci and Federico Verdi attended on behalf the Federal Anti-doping Commission and NADO Italia respectively. The session covered themes of doping and identifying prohibited substances, the negative effects of doping on the physical and mental health of young athletes, as well as the legal and disciplinary consequences and preventative strategies with a particular focus on the role of education and awareness amongst youth teams. The next meeting will be with the Italy U17s tomorrow, Wednesday 30 October.
