    Proposed Research Outline

    LC Paper No. CB(2) 1263/03-04(01) PROPOSED RESEARCH OUTLINE The Economic and Social Impacts of Hosting Selected International Games 1. Background 1.1 The Panel on Home Affairs (Panel), at its meeting on 12 December 2003, requested the Research and Library Services Division (RLSD) to conduct a research study on the possible impacts for Hong Kong to host the 2009 East Asian (EA) Games based on the experience of the previous EA Games. 2. Proposed international games to be studied 2.1 RLSD originally intended to study the EA Games held in 1997 and 20011. For comparison, the Asian Games held in 1998 and 2002 were also considered for the study2. Apart from thorough in-house and Internet research, enquiries have been made to the relevant organizing committees and government departments in the host countries for providing the required information. However, only scanty information from official sources has so far been successfully collected on the impacts of hosting the EA Games and the Asian Games. As such, the research will study the 2002 Asian Games and make use of information available from newspapers, magazines and other secondary sources where appropriate. In addition, the 2000 Olympic Games3 and the 2002 Commonwealth Games4 will be included in the study for a better understanding of the impacts of hosting international sports events. 2.2 The study of the 2000 Olympic Games should help reflect the extent of the economic and social impacts that hosting an international sports event could have on a host country, although the scale of a mega sports event such as the Olympic Games is larger than that of the EA Games.

    Doping: Towards the Perfect Human Machine?

    Press dossier European Science Open Forum (ESOF 2008) Doping: towards the perfect human machine? In a society where sports success provides fame, glory and money, managing to be the best at any price is a great temptation that can lead to employing prohibited substances and/or methods. Under this premise, international experts from anti-doping bodies, organisations that manage controls, associations of scientists interested in the issue and the athletes themselves will participate in this scientific session that will discuss the situation of doping in sport at a time of special significance, right before the Peking Olympic Games. An international multidisciplinary vision The scientific session is organised by Dr Jordi Segura, at which international experts in the field of doping and sport will also participate. Jordi Segura, Director of the Anti-Doping Laboratory of the Municipal Institute of Medical Research (IMIM-Hospital del Mar) He is also the coordinator of the research group of Bio-analysis and Analytic Services of the Neuropsychopharmacology Research Programme at IMIM, member of the Medical Commission Games Group of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and of the Doping Control Review Board of the International Swimming Federation (FINA).

Instead, the International Olympic Committee picked Atlanta, which had more robust facilities and offered a greater chance of financial success. While taxpayer money paid for infrastructure improvements supporting the Games, private companies and revenue from tickets funded new sports venues and the actual Games. That meant solvency, but it also opened the door to more commercialism. Politically, the XXVI Olympiad was a triumph, drawing unprecedented international representation. For the first time, athletes from all 197 national Olympic committees participated — more than 10,000 athletes in all. Two dozen nations made their Olympic or Summer Games debut. The Games also marked the return of boxing legend Muhammad Ali to the public eye.
