The University of Botswana will embark on research that will focus on Anti- Doping Education and Consideration/Intention of Using Prohibited Substances in Botswana, Zambia and Papua New Guinea, thanks to a 2020 World Anti-Doping Agency research grant.

The grant has been awarded to Dr Tshepang Tshube, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physical Education, Health and Recreation. Dr Tshube said he was happy to be awarded the 2020 World Anti-Doping Agency research grant in the amount of US$59,662 (around P640 000).

As the 2020 Olympic Games beckon, the University of Botswana continues to offer its facilities to help in the preparation of national teams athletes to make sure they are fit for the games slated for Tokyo, Japan from July 24 to August 9, 2020.
