On the occasion of the winning ceremony of the Journalists on Doping Award that will take place in Rome on November 8, the Gianni Benzi Foundation organizes the debate To continue the fight against doping.
The debate has been promoted to recall the themes that have characterized the important contribution given by Gianni Benzi to the fight against doping, namely the scientific rigor applied to the issues of doping and the battle against easy manipulations and false myths that proliferate above all where lacking information and transparency. The initiative therefore intends to exploit independent, non-partisan information, adequate in content, not bent to market needs and victory at all costs.
