I trust that these days of meeting and reflection will allow you to explore further the good that sport and faith can bring to our societies.Francis has denounced doping in sport, saying drug-fueled victories are sterile. He has urged athletes to be clean and to use sport for personal development and solidarity.Francis has also sspoken out strongly about corruption in all aspects of society and urged young people to resist its addictive lure.dddddddddddd.N.
