The United Arab Emirates will take part in the 10th session of the Conference of Parties to the International Convention against Doping in Sport, scheduled to be held in Paris from 20th to 22nd October.
The UAE will be represented by Dr. Reema Al Hosani, consultant sports medicine and international coordinator of the global research team studying the impact of herbal substances on doping.
Al Hosani leads an international team of around 40 experts from various countries under an initiative supported by UNESCO’s Fund for the Elimination of Doping in Sport.
The initiative aims to explore how traditional herbs affect integrity and values in sports in relation to doping, as part of a plan running from June 2024 to May 2025.
Al Hosani said the initiative was launched in response to a growing trend of athletes turning to traditional medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. She noted that the Executive Committee of the Conference of Parties adopted the proposal, with the Arab group under her leadership selected to head the global team.
