Updated CCES Statement Regarding COVID-19
(Ottawa, Ontario – March 19, 2020) – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in
Sport (CCES) recognizes the impact that COVID-19 is having on athletes,
sport organizations and all Canadians.
In light of the latest national and regional government directives and
measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the CCES will significantly
reduce testing operations to protect the health and well-being of
athletes and sample collection personnel.
In keeping with global practices during this time, the CCES retains the
right to test athletes at any time and we will maintain our readiness to
test based on our ongoing intelligence assessments.
Registered Testing Pool athletes are required to maintain up-to-date
whereabouts information to reflect changes to training and competition
schedules.
The CCES athlete services and education support remain available to help
athletes and support personnel navigate medication inquiries, medical
exemptions and online learning requirements.
For up-to-date information about COVID-19, please refer to the
World Health Organization and
Health Canada.
