FIBA Clean Game campaign
In line with the IOC movement and more recently with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), FIBA has widely engaged in the fight against doping and organizes since 1989 doping controls during its events.
The aim
An anti-doping campaign was launched in 2002 and articles, such as leaflets, posters, T-shirts, stickers have been regularly produced and distributed all over the world in a continued bid to raise public awareness of the problem of doping and in particular, its traps and dangers.
FIBA is pleased to unveil today its brand new anti-doping logo which will further and clearly identify its fight against Doping. The colourful, multilingual and “friendly” logo allows all basketball players to identify with a clean sport spirit. The new logo was for the first time visible during the World Championship in Japan in various forms (e.g.: stickers, t-shirts, etc…).
No doping days
During the last FIBA World Championships, every player on all 16 eight-finalists at the 2006 FIBA World Championship participated in a show of support to help keep basketball a drug free game.
The players wore orange t-shirts with the new logo for the "No Doping Days" campaign, which features the slogan "Clean Game". The campaign is a further step in FIBA's educational effort in the fight against doping, especially focused on sending youngsters of the game a positive message.
The logo, designed by a French design house and launched in July 2006, carries a fingerprint with the slogan in 15 different languages.
The players wore the t-shirts during the warm-ups for their eight-final matches.
