Where: Hyatt Grand Central (109 East 42nd Street, Grand Central Terminal, New York, NY 10017

I will be moderating this fantastic event, which should turn out to be a frank and open discussion and educational session to bring awareness to the dangers and consequences of performance-enhancing drugs and to promote change within the existing anti-doping and sport governing bodies to instill a safe community for athletes to no longer feel the competitive pressure to dope as a means for success.

PureSport Panel Discussion Invite FINAL

By Darren Heitner

Darren Heitner created Sports Agent Blog as a New Year's Resolution on December 31, 2005. Originally titled, "I Want To Be A Sports Agent," the website was founded with the intention of causing Heitner to learn more about the profession that he wanted to join, meet reputable individuals in the space and force himself to stay on top of the latest news and trends.

Heitner now runs Heitner Legal, P.L.L.C., which is a law firm with many practice areas, including sports law and contract law. Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at Indiana University Bloomington from 2011-2014, where he created and taught a course titled, Sport Agency Management, which included subjects ranging from NCAA regulations to athlete agent certification and the rules governing the profession. Heitner serves as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he teaches a Sports Law class that includes case law surrounding athlete agents and the NCAA rules.
