IeSF became an Official Signatory of World Anti-Doping Agency

By Alex Lim

A lex Lim, the international coordinator of IeSF, expressed his impression,

“Man, it has been a hell of works.”

As introduced on last volume of G & e, IeSF has been struggling to get its

Anti-Doping Regulations recognized by World Anti-doping Agency

(WADA) in order to complete Sport Accord Membership Application

project.

Then, as ending up the long period of suffering with WADA’s feedbacks

and correspondence for them, all the researches on the Anti-Doping

Regulations and building IeSF’s own Regulations and Guidebook, IeSF has

been recognized by WADA and become an Official Signatory of WADA.

It interprets that IeSF is one more step closer to international sports society

as being an official Anti-Doping Organization, which means that IeSF is

recognized as an official International Federation by a part of international

sports society, WADA as well as completing the most difficult part of Sport

Accord Membership Application.

- For the result of IeSF’s exertion for a year, finally, World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) recognized IeSF as an official signatory of WADA.

Therefore, we would like to share this matter of congratulation with all of

our members. You can check IeSF’s name on the list of Internaitonal

Federations at WADA’s website as following the link below:

position. He left his sincere appreciation to all member of IeSF for all the

support and cooperation. As caching up the dream for his life, he moves on

behalf of all respectful members of IeSF, we would like to express our

sincere appreciation to Noha for his dedication to e-sports and IeSF for past

years. Also, we wish best luck in his future.

In order to cover Noha’s absence, IeSF Secretariat welcomed the new

general manager, Ricky Kim. Ricky had worked in Samsung Affiliate Jeil

Communication for 3 years, and also worked at World Cyber Games from

2003 to 2011 for 9 years, and also worked. He had been in charge of IT

department and Global Team, and handling pretty much all parts of the

business of the company while he was working at World Cyber Games.

He is an experienced veteran for global business, e-sports event organization

most parts of businesses.

Therefore, it is expected that he can contribute to the second leap of IeSF

since we are in such period of change for good. We would like to ask all of

our respectful members to welcome this new veteran, and expect sound

cooperation with him in the future.
