The third edition of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) Symposium has been scheduled to be held in New Delhi from October 12 to 14.

Both the Indian National Anti-Doping Agency and the National Dope Testing Laboratory will be helping to organise the event.

Anti-doping stakeholders that are involved in ABP programmes include testing, administration, expert reviews and results management will come together with the aim to promote harmonisation of practice and exchange of knowledge gained from ABP.

Representatives from national and regional anti-doping organisations, International Federations, Athlete Passport Management Units, WADA-accredited laboratories and experts who review passports have been invited to take part in the Symposium at India’s capital.

Fact of the day

When British skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won the Olympic gold medal in ice dance at Sarajevo 1984 with 12 perfect 6.0s from every judge, for their interpretation of Maurice Ravel's Boléro, an important member of their team was singer-actor Michael Crawford. Crawford, who had played Frank Spencer in British sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and the title role in the musical The Phantom of the Opera, had become a mentor to the pair in 1981 and went on to help them create their Olympic routine. Crawford said he “taught them how to act". He was present with their trainer Betty Callaway at the ringside at Sarajevo as they created one of the most iconic moments in Olympic history.
