A series of events were held across campus during ‘Clean Sport Week’ (13-17 May), shining a spotlight on athletes’ clean journeys in elite sport and the ongoing imperative work practitioners do in supporting those in the sector.
Hosted under this year’s theme ‘Journey to the Podium’, various workshops and drop-in sessions were delivered, allowing people to learn more about Loughborough’s ‘Clean Sport Values’ and how all students and staff can play a role in collectively keeping sport clean.
