Fitness against doping (2012)

EHFA – European Health and Fitness Association (the representative body of the health & fitness sector, based in Brussels, Belgium) was awarded a grant by the European Commission (Agreement Number EAC-2010-1283) to lead a project to research and develop preventative strategies to counter doping practices in fitness facilities. EHFA was chosen as 1 of only 3 successful applicants from 146 submissions to the funding stream under the European Commission’s Preparatory Action in the Field of Sport. The EU allocates funding, such as this, to assist worthy, important and necessary projects which could not be carried out without the financial support of the Commission. The Fitness Against Doping project was co-funded by the European Commission.
