The Center of Research and Expertise in anti-Doping sciences (REDs) is a leading international research center with the ability to carry out independent, multi-disciplinary and innovative studies and provide expertise in all the anti-doping sciences.
The REDs also provides postgraduate courses (MSc and PhD) in doping and the fight against doping, together with specialized continuing training courses for coaches, administrators, anti-doping supervisors, doctors and managers who are helping to advance the fight against doping.
- Research: Working in conjunction with the world’s leading specialists, the REDs is able to carry out independent, multi-disciplinary and innovative research relating to the fight against doping.
- Consulting: The REDs network of widely respected, independent experts can provide international sport organizations’ medical, disciplinary and bodies with consultancy services covering the scientific, legal and certificatory aspects of the fight against doping.
- Training: We are able to draw on our research and consultancy activities in order to provide cutting-edge training courses for people involved in every aspect of the fight against doping.
As an independent research center within the University of Lausanne, the REDs has developed a coordinated approach to the fight against doping and can thereby help national and international federations, the international network of anti-doping laboratories and individual sports teams combat this destructive aspect of sport.
