    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2007/A/1377 Melanie Rinaldi v. Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), award of 26 November 2007 Panel: Mr. Quentin Byrne-Sutton (Switzerland), Sole Arbitrator Swimming Change of sport nationality Interpretation and purpose of the requirement of the 12 month prior residence before a change of nationality Compatibility with Swiss Law of FINA GR 2.6 in particular with the principle of protection of personality rights and with the principle of Equality of treatment 1. The wording of GR 2.6 is clear in that it requires that a competitor have truly lived in the country for at least one complete year in order to qualify for a change of national affiliation. Separate stays that correspond to forms of visits rather than to establishing a home would not qualify as periods of residence even if they are numerous. 2. The purpose of GR 2.6 is to regulate changes of sports nationality in manner which preserves the interest of sport, of national federations that “invest” in their athletes and of the athletes. More specifically, in order to be indicative of a real “change” and to prevent “nation shopping”, residence needs to correspond to the centre of the athlete’s activity (in terms of everyday life, training and competing at national level) for a sufficiently significant period of time to establish that the new residence is not fictitious. The wording employed in GR 2.6, which is that a competitor must have resided in the new country for a full year prior to the request for change of affiliation, corresponds to the purpose of the clause.

This declaration by the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, celebrates the important role of sport in our Canadian identity. It is an apt title, as in 2015 Canada hosts both the Canada Winter Games and the Pan Am Games. While both events will see amazing competition from incredible Canadian athletes, the two events are very different. The Canada Winter Games are hosted on the west coast in beautiful Prince George, British Columbia, and will see fierce competition among Canada’s finest young winter sport athletes, who are the next generation of Olympians. By contrast, the Pan Am Games will Winston Chow/COC be hosted in multiple locations in and around Toronto, Ontario, featuring Canada’s world-class athletes competing in summer sports. FROM OUR Your donations are vital to both of these initiatives, as the Canadian Olympic Foundation grants funds to both the Canadian EXECUTIVE Team at the Pan Am Games, and the Canada Games. In this edition of Strive, we feature articles about the impact of the DIRECTOR Canada Games on Canadian athletes, and offer a sneak peek into the preparations for the Pan Am Games.

WORLD SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION INS Québec CEO Marc Gélinas began working with the organization in June 2008 and by September that year a working group was already making plans for its next steps. “We knew other countries were working on a sport institute concept so we researched how that could work for us,” he says. “We ran work sessions and focus groups with coaches, athletes – for both Olympic and Paralympic focuses – scientists and medical staff. We wanted to know what they had seen around the world and asked what we could do to provide athletes with a world-class environment.” To complement what they had heard from participants, the INS executive team visited Australia and England extensively as well as the USOC Training Centre in Colorado Springs. “We’ve also had a lot of exchanges with Spain and locally, we went to several Canadian facilities as well as the Montreal Canadiens’ hockey team training centre in Brossard, Quebec.” Pag.

  • Foundations of Excellence
    Foundations of Excellence Annual Report 2004-2005 Message to Stakeholders It is our firm belief that the true value of sport to Canadian society will only be realized if our sport system is anchored on a strong ethical foundation. We know Canadians invest in sport because they believe sport can and should contribute to our society. Canadians want their sport system, from the backyard rinks to the world stage, to build character and ethical behaviours through the promotion and reflection of a core set of Canadian values. Sport built on these values can and will enrich the lives of those who participate. But just as importantly, sport can build better communities and a stronger, more united country. Sport tainted by unethical behaviour, such as doping or violence, will have a negative impact on those who participate and on their communities, and ultimately lead to a loss of public confidence and support. The Canadian Sport Policy process and the subsequent National Strategy for Ethical Conduct in Sport (the True Sport Strategy) have defined the key sport values as fairness, inclusion, excellence and fun. These values relate to how we prepare our athletes, and they relate to our decisions and approaches to the pursuit of excellence in sport. How we as Canadians pay attention to ethics in sport is therefore very much at the heart of the CCES mandate. It is in fact our core business. The past year has seen the CCES help put in place important ethical foundations that we believe will both protect the integrity of Canadian sport values and also ensure that our sport system delivers tremendous value to individuals, communities and to our collective identity as Canadians.
