King Carl Gustaf attended the unveiling of a second anti-doping monument "Et Purus Stockholm" - created to honor professor Arne Ljunqqvist and his lifelong work for clean sport and a doping-free society.
Princess Christina and Tord Magnuson attended too. Queen Silvia was listed to attend, but she cancelled her attendance due to a cold.

Still active today, aged 93, Arne Ljunqqvist began his anti-doping career 53 years ago in Sweden. He has fought against doping in sport from leading positions in the major sports organizations: World Athletics, the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency (which he co-founded in 1999). In 2012, he expanded his work by forming a foundation with the mission to combat the use of doping agents also in society, especially aimed at young people - Professor Arne Ljungqvist's Anti-Doping Foundation.
Professor Arne Ljungqvist:
"I am of course extremely honored and grateful for this monument. Et Purus touches the world of sports as well as our society. It celebrates pure health in all its forms and forms bringing with it a strong message of winning with excellence – by competing fairly and that honor the truth.”
Et Purus - The History
At his 80th birthday in May 2011, Arne Ljungqvist was awarded a sculpture idea created to honor his global crusade against doping. It depicts the classic "No 1" hand gesture, which is used worldwide by all cultures to mark a victory.
The monument was sculpted by artist Sassona Norton. It got the name "Et Purus" in Latin, which means "And pure". Ten years later the first bronze monument was unveiled in Monaco by HSH Prince Albert II – Et Purus No 1.
Now the day has come for Et Purus No 2, in Professor Ljungqvist's hometown of Stockholm.
