The Probative Value of the Mclaren Report Confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) by Robert Neron, SDRCC Arbitrator
The Probative Value of the McLaren Report Confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) by Robert Neron, SDRCC Arbitrator February 2018 The decisions rendered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne over the past 18 months were largely influenced by revelations of Russia's state-run doping scheme and suspension of Russian athletes. An in-depth investigation into the involvement of Russian athletes in doping activities was launched in December 2014 after German radio-television broadcaster ARD revealed a government-sponsored doping program in Russia reminiscent of former practices in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. Following ARD’s broadcast and witness testimony from a former director of the Russian laboratory regarding systematic doping and cover-up attempts involving athletes competing in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi,1 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appointed Richard McLaren, Professor of Law at Western University and member of the SDRCC’s inaugural roster, to chair an independent commission. The first part of McLaren’s findings, submitted in July 2016, provided substantive evidence of the systematic, state-sponsored manipulation of the doping control process2 that occurred before the 2014 Olympic Winter Games and continuing afterward in the run-up to the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. These findings prompted the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to indefinitely suspend Russia from world athletics events. In addition, WADA announced that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) should be considered in violation of WADA rules. WADA further recommended banning Russia entirely from the 2016 Olympic Games. -
Relation Between Exercise Performance and Blood Storage Condition and Storage Time in Autologous Blood Doping
biology Review Relation between Exercise Performance and Blood Storage Condition and Storage Time in Autologous Blood Doping Benedikt Seeger and Marijke Grau * Molecular and Cellular Sports Medicine, German Sport University Cologne, 50677 Cologne, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-221-4982-6116 Simple Summary: Autologous blood doping (ABD) refers to sampling, storage, and re-infusion of one’s own blood to improve circulating red blood cell (RBC) mass and thus the oxygen transport and finally the performance capacity. This illegal technique employed by some athletes is still difficult to detect. Hence knowledge of the main effects of ABD is needed to develop valid detection methods. Performance enhancement related to ABD seems to be well documented in the literature, but applied study designs might affect the outcome that was analyzed herein. The majority of recent studies investigated the effect of cold blood storage at 4 ◦C, and only few studies focused on cryopreservation, although it might be suspected that cryopreservation is above all applied in sport. The storage duration—the time between blood sampling and re-infusion—varied in the reported literature. In most studies, storage duration might be too short to fully restore the RBC mass. It is thus concluded that most reported studies did not display common practice and that the reported performance outcome might be affected by these two variables. Thus, knowledge of the real effects of ABD, as applied in sport, on performance and associated parameters are needed to develop reliable detection techniques. Abstract: Professional athletes are expected to continuously improve their performance, and some might also use illegal methods—e.g., autologous blood doping (ABD)—to achieve improvements. -

This communicative event is introduced through the current examples taken from the German national and regional press. The mechanisms of the formation and topicalization of the event are revealed in the paper. The global context of the scandal is covered and exampled by co-referential areas "Sport" and "Olympics".

In December 2014, Russia was accused of developing a state-organized doping system in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The scandal resulted in many Russian athletes being banned from competing in the Olympics in Rio in 2016 and the IOC’s suspension of the Russian National Olympic Committee prior to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. The research presented in this article aims to answer the research question of whether the doping scandal actually affected the international image of Russia. The research was conducted with the use of frame analysis of public discourse. The hypothesis to be tested states that the Russian doping scandal contributed to the intensification of a negative external image of this state. Keywords: Russia, doping, sports diplomacy, nation branding, image of a country. * This work was supported by National Science Centre, Poland grant number 2015/19/D/ HS5/00513, grant holder: Michał Marcin Kobierecki). © by the author, licensee Łódź University – Łódź University Press, Łódź, Poland.

The Olympic Sport deals daily with this competitor “off the beaten track” of the highest competence. This article was based on the reports on the anti-doping control situation in the Olympic Games in Brazil issued by the specialist of the US Congressional Research Service, the IAAF sanctioned positive athletics report, of the International Olympic Committee that dealt with the fight against doping and health promotion of athletes, the Independent Observer Reports of the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Anti-Doping Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. A special highlight was the doping cases orchestrated by the Russia Athletic Federation, as well as the efforts of institutions responsible for the fight against doping in the protection of clean athletes. The fight against doping in the Olympic Games in Brazil was classified as the worst anti-doping in the history of games, based on the volunteers organization and the effectiveness of the tests performed. -

“Doping on a Hanger”: Regulatory Lessons from the FINA Elimination of the Polyurethane Swimsuit Applied to the International Anti-Doping Paradigm
“Doping on a Hanger”: Regulatory Lessons from the FINA Elimination of the Polyurethane Swimsuit Applied to the International Anti-Doping Paradigm RACHEL MACDONALD* In 2008, swimwear manufacturer Speedo released the world‟s first polyurethane competition body suit, the LZR Racer. Compared to “doping on a hanger,” the suit was an unprecedented leap in swimsuit technology, and more than 130 world records were broken in only the first seventeen months after the LZR became available to competitive swimmers. Upon realizing the polyurethane swimsuits stood to radically change swimming, the Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) implemented regulation that swiftly and successfully eradicated the problem. In contrast, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has yet to effectively control athletic doping. Focus on the international anti-doping regime intensified in 2014 upon the exposure of widespread, permissive doping among internationally competitive Russian athletes. Further, WADA statistics reveal doping remains a serious and growing problem. Despite the different scopes and missions of FINA and WADA, there are several regulatory lessons that can be extracted from FINA‟s successful polyurethane swimsuit ban and applied to WADA‟s struggle to eliminate doping in sports. The goal of this Note is to compare the international doping problem and the polyurethane swimsuit ban and then to ascertain how the successful FINA regulatory paradigm might be applied to the international anti-doping regime. Ultimately, FINA‟s example suggests that WADA might benefit from making changes including: creating more specific regulations that can be articulated and then applied in a * Articles Editor, Colum.
