SPIRIT OF SPORT NEWSLETTER Athletes and stakeholders are collectively trying to preserve the idea of Olympism through harmonized agreements such as the WADA Code. Over and above sporting exploits, Olympism is a source of multiple passions that unite the worlds of sport, art, and culture. To reflect the state of mind that encompasses those passions, and to more effectively serve you, the athlete newsletter, the Spirit of Sport™, is now combined with the athlete support newsletter, The Playing Field™, as one publication. Spirit of Sport™ featured with The Playing Field™ is a USADA publication dedicated to providing timely and accurate anti-doping information for athletes, support personnel and others interested in the Olympic and Paralympic Movement. 2008 Spirit of Sport, July - September 2008 This issue of "Spirit of Sport" includes: My Victory.
