The responsibility that the Olympic Movement and sport organizations worldwide have in ensuring sport and sporting events are fair and clean is more relevant than ever before. 

How can we ensure that the testing being done is independent and without any conflicts of interest? 

How can we break the “rule of silence” and encourage people to come forward and report violations?
