- Description
- This was the first of two public forums programmed for the International Congress on Drugs in Sport hosted by the Hunter Academy of Sport. It was held at 7.30pm on Tuesday, 22 August 1989, in the David Maddison Main Lecture Theatre adjacent to the Royal Newcastle Hospital. The audience of some 220 people included the Congress delegates. Admission was free. The Academy felt that should an International Congress be promoted by a Hunter institution with a view to extracting recommendations for government, there should be an opportunity for the Hunter public to attend, listen to, discuss points with, and ask questions of international, Australian, and regional experts drawn from the athletes themselves, coaches, sport administrators, science, medicine, philosophy and politics. The Academy also felt that it was important to document the debate, and present the information back to the public. The evening was therefore recorded on tape, and this document is a transcript of those tapes, edited only to remove some of the redundancies of free discourse. The natural informality of speakers has otherwise been retained to provide realism and entertainment.
