The Oceania RADO will launch its Athlete Outreach Program- Pasifika Spirit: Play True at the XIII SPG, Apia Samoa.
The Athlete Outreach Program was established to deliver direct interaction with athletes at multi-sport, multi-national and national events in the region.
Athletes around the region show their support for a doping free and level playing field at the XIII SPG through the use of their images on educational and promotional materials.
This team of athletes is part of the Oceania RADO ‘pilot project’ known as the “Oceania RADO Athlete Ambassadors” and “The Voices of the Athletes”.

1. Serena Francis-Hunter (Outrigger)
2. Lucretia Smith (Hockey)
3. Ryan Pini (Swimming)
4. Uale Mai (Rugby 7’s)
5. Ana Po’uhila (Athletics)

There will be a booth/ display set up at the XIII SPG Athlete Village where athletes can visit and learn more about doping control, ONOC Athletes Commission and HIV/AIDs.
