SAO PAULO (2006 FIBA World Championship for Women) - Every player on all 8 quarter-finalists at the 2006 FIBA World Championship for Women participated in a show of support to help keep basketball a drug free game.
The players wore orange t-shirts with the new logo for the "No Doping Days" campaign, which features the slogan "Clean Game".
The campaign is a further step in FIBA's educational effort in the fight against doping, especially focused on sending youngsters of the game a positive message.
"The players of all teams in this campaign have been brilliant, their cooperation was outstanding," said FIBA President Bob Elphinston.
"A message from the star players of our game is much stronger to kids and other players than any educational material from FIBA. However, information and education of our young players, at schools and clubs as well as testing remains our other priorities."
The logo, designed by a French design house and launched in July 2006, carries a fingerprint with the slogan in 15 different languages.
The players wore the t-shirts during the warm-ups for their quarter-final matches.
