It is hard to imagine winning the gold medal in the discus throw Sandra Perkovic at the Olympics finished in London 2012. without the proper nutrition and supplementation. Although it has been 30 years since Ivan Ivancic won his medals as a successful athlete, today as a coach he realized that sports nutrition plays an important role in success of athletes.
That is why coach Ivan consulted representatives of the CIS (Center for sports nutrition and supplementation), the SMAS (Sports Medicine Association of Serbia) and ADAS (Anti-Doping Agency of Serbia) with a desire to get advice and suggestions on proper supplementation.

Education about doping and sports nutrition showed the need for continuity among the athletes and coaches as well as among people who usually advise athletes.

An example that university sport can be organized on a professional level is the tournament, which has been for years organized by the Faculty of Technology in Novi Sad. This year, the organizers invited members of ADAS, SMAS and CIS to held a lecture before about doping, nutrition and supplementation in soccer. Members of the 15 teams in this tournament attended the lecture, which was first organized in such a position. Participants got advice about nutrition and supplementation through SMAS and CIS experience with our professional football players. They also had the opportunity to hear about doping substances and their adverse effects, with emphasis on steroids.

Therefore, the doping control officeres of ADAS can be seen at the derbies, semifinals and finals in football, basketball, water polo, volleyball and other team sports.
