October 31, 2016 By Ben Badler

[Editor’s note: This story was updated Tuesday, Nov. 1, to reflect additional reporting.]

An international draft protest prompted Major League Baseball to cancel its Dominican national showcase last week. Soon thereafter, some Latin American players were surprised with drug tests, but MLB officials said that the timing of the tests was not related to the protest.

MLB had scheduled its two-day showcase for Wednesday and Thursday last week, but with players planning to skip the event as a protest against an international draft, MLB cancelled the showcase on Tuesday night.

Beginning on Wednesday, representatives of MLB’s drug collection agency, Drug Free Sport, told some players who were on the showcase roster and some who were not on the roster that they needed to take drug tests, according to multiple sources, with some players reporting the following day for testing. Not all of the players invited to the showcase were told they needed to get drug tested. MLB officials said the timing of the tests coincided with the start of the routine drug- testing process for the 2017-2018 international signing period. “I can definitively say, with 100 percent certainty, that any implication these players were chosen to be tested because they didn’t show up to a showcase is false,” said Dan Halem, MLB’s chief legal officer.

The players, who are 15 and 16, will be eligible to sign next year beginning on July 2. MLB does drug test the players it determines to be the top amateur prospects in both Latin America and the draft on a pre-contract basis, though those tests typically don’t occur until the year in which the players are eligible to sign. Players who test positive for a banned substance on a pre-contract basis are not subject to suspension, though teams will know the results of a player’s test if they inquire with the commissioner’s office. The use of anabolic steroids is a problem throughout baseball, from the major league level to the amateur ranks, including in Latin America. Several Latin American amateur players who became eligible to sign this year on July 2 tested positive for steroids, and some club officials suspect players are put on steroids at 14 and 15, only to cycle off in time to avoid detection http://www.baseballamerica.com/international/mlb-tells-protesting-dominican-players-take- drug-tests/#2hW2FKzlgkjRrYHH.97 Bangkokpost Racing 92 trio to take legal action over doping probe leaks

 1 Nov 2016 at 04:45 40 viewed0 comments  WRITER: AFP

PARIS - New Zealand great Dan Carter and two other players from French side Racing 92 are to take their case to the public prosecutor after confidential medical records were made public by media, their club announced Monday.

Racing 92's New Zealand fly-half Dan Carter was the target of an investigation by the medical commission of the French Rugby Federation after testing positive for corticosteroids

Carter, fellow former All Black Joe Rokocoko and Argentinian winger Juan Imhoff were the target of an investigation by the medical commission of the French Rugby Federation after testing positive for corticosteroids following last season's domestic Top 14 final.

But the trio, as well as Racing's medical staff, were all cleared of any wrongdoing.

The club said in a statement that media reports had "blurred public perceptions of their players".

The statement added that they and the players had decided to take action "in order to shine light on how their medical confidentiality was breached."

"After totally justified medical treatment dispensed conforming to the rules, three Racing players saw their medical confidentiality breached when details were reported by the media," Racing added.

"This serious and evident violation must not create any future difficulty for anyone wishing to work securely and transparently with the relevant anti-doping institutions." Corticosteroids can be used to combat pain, inflammation or allergies.

They can be taken legally or illegally, depending on the method of ingestion.

It is illegal to take corticosteroids orally or have them injected in either the blood or muscle, but they can be injected into joints or inhaled.

Even if taken in a banned manner, athletes can gain permission to do so by applying for the controversial Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).

French sports daily L'Equipe originally revealed the positive tests on October 7.

French television channel Canal+ claimed Carter's corticosteroid readings showed 81 nanogrammes per millilitre, with 49 for Rokocoko and 31 for Imhoff, while the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has set a limit of 30. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/world/1124181/racing-92-trio-to-take-legal-action- over-doping-probe-leaks UK Anti-Doping host sixth Clean Sport Forum published on 31 October 2016

Nick Butler: WADA report is microcosm of everything wrong with Rio 2016 and IOC

 By Nick Butler  Monday, 31 October 2016

Last week’s World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Independent Observers report into drugs testing procedures at Rio 2016 felt like a snapshot of every major story we have written this year.

Incompetent organisation by Rio 2016, check.

Worrying revelations about anti-doping procedures in sport, check.

A nauseating press release from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) taking a different perspective from everyone else, check.

Virtually the only thing missing was a reference on page 43 to how Russian (ex-) Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko had appeared halfway through brandishing a test tube full of urine and shouting about politically influenced conspiracies...

To start with the first point, the report could probably be used as a case study to typify any area of the Organising Committee's operations.

Rio 2016, it transpired, had a mysterious feud which meant they refused all cooperation with the Brazilian Anti-Doping Agency. Chaperones and others working in doping control were trained poorly and looked after even worse.

Their accommodation frequently changed and was often far away, while there were no specific transport plans, no advanced rota and no free meals to mitigate the hardship of a long shift. Most typically of all, Rio 2016 officials appear to ignore most of the advice they were given, or promised they would make changes yet failed to do so.

"For reasons that were never very clear, rosters were often communicated in fairly chaotic fashion,” read the section on planning…and "often very late in the day prior to the next day, and sometimes changes were made to the rosters but not communicated properly or in a timely fashion to the test scheduling team."

In another responses to a suggestion to hire extra doping control offices; "This instruction was acknowledged and accepted by the Rio 2016 general manager but then not actioned.” Then: "After a week of delay, Rio 2016 advised that this additional resource would not be pursued because of (among other things), difficulties in getting new accreditations, lack of access to uniforms, and lack of time for training. This was very disappointing."

Perhaps my own personal highlight was a section revealing how Rio 2016 had missed the opportunity to provide anti-doping educational information to athletes waiting for testing, beyond "one or two posters" across all venues.

"In the circumstances, however, this was the least of Rio’s problems," conclude the observers in a similar world-weary tone to that which we journalists had taken when asking for the 10th successive day about the discrepancy between empty seats and official ticket sales.

Two key questions here concern to what extent these problems were avoidable from the IOC perspective and to what extent this fundamentally affected the efficiency of the anti- doping operation at Rio 2016.

To some extent, there appears little the IOC and other sports officials could have changed the approach of the organisers. Brazil and chaotic preparation are just too closely entwined and, when the budget cuts and political disruption is considered, it is a miracle the Olympic and happened at all.

Yet, on the other hand, the IOC had seven years to get this one right and were not exactly strapped for cash to provide more support.

We were told over and over again ahead of the Games about how Rio made cuts only in non-essential areas in order "maximise" their budget, and, in the words of the IOC, to make it more "economically sustainable".

But, hold on, now it appears that a contract to source 25 local phlebotomists to collect blood samples had been slashed shortly beforehand. The blood testing operation was, therefore, severely limited and, in many sports, non-existent. This is even more concerning when you consider that blood testing was also considered a problem in the London 2012 WADA Independent Observers report.

Surely the IOC’s "zero tolerance" approach towards doping could stretch to a permanent official there to liaise with organisers? And, after the problems seen at Sochi 2014 and then at Rio 2016, could anti-doping not form a more serious part of the bidding process? Or, at the very least, of IOC Coordination Commission inspections? Could the IOC's Rio 2016 Coordination Commission headed by Nawal El-Moutawakel have done more to foresee anti-doping problems ahead of the Games? ©Getty Images

So how far did these problems affect the anti-doping operation?

The WADA team, let's not forget, were under pressure here after their complete failure to notice the alleged manipulation of samples at Sochi 2014. The 55-page report spearheaded by British lawyer Jonathan Taylor is duly more detailed than the 34-page one on Sochi and the 13-page one in London and they appear determined not to get it wrong again.

Out of all the reports they have conducted over the last five years, only the one on the 2015 All-African Games in Brazzaville comes even close in the criticism stakes. Even so, after members of the Sochi 2014 team admitted to us how they feared never being given work again by the IOC if they did not focus on the positives, you wonder if they could have concluded even more critically this time around?

They assert that, "generally, the integrity of the process was not undermined", but, as is often the way with these things, positive conclusions are not always backed-up by the nitty gritty details.

The IOC were in no doubt, and my colleague Liam Morgan has already put their gushing press release trumpeting a "successful anti-doping programme" to the sword. It bolstered our view that the IOC need a radical rethink of their communications strategy. Facing spin with similar levels of competence to the England cricket team, they have once again made a situation worse with a condescending attempt to switch the agenda which insulted the intelligence of everyone who read it.

Clearly, there were some positive aspects. The intelligence-led approach focusing on quality rather than quantity was certainly one, showcased by their Pre-Games Intelligence Task Force, while their increasing use of the Athlete Biological Passport system was another.

Security also gets a resolute green light, although I sincerely doubt the Brazilians would have been competent enough to even consider a system as sophisticated as the one allegedly undertaken by Russia during Sochi 2014. A private team guarded the laboratory alongside 180 surveillance cameras, including one permanently displaying the cold storage room in which samples were kept.

But daily targets for out-of-competition testing were "rarely met" and were often "only 50 per cent or less" of planned figures. As mentioned already, blood testing was rudimentary, while only 28.62 per cent of the 11,303 athletes competing at Rio 2016 were tested. There were also "non-conformities" in the processing of around 30 per cent of samples received; in comparison to 10 per cent at London 2012. The anti-doping programme at Rio 2016 appeared a pale shadow of the one at London 2012 ©Getty Images

As it stands, we can only agree that "it was only due to the enormous resourcefulness and goodwill of some key doping control personnel working at the Games that the process did not break down entirely".

It would be good to have some more follow-up inquiries, but I fear that sport will try and evade even more public criticism.

There were, however, some serious conclusions that we can make already. In total, 4,125 athletes competing at Rio 2016 were found to have no record of being tested this year. Even more worryingly, 1,913 of these had come from the 10 sports deemed to be at the highest risk.

This, according to the report, highlighted the "inadequacy" of test distribution planning by International Federations and National Anti-Doping Organisations in these sports. Results of the intelligence testing subsequently carried-out also "potentially indicated that the athletes in question had not expected to be tested and thought they could dope right up to the Games with impunity".

This is deeply concerning considering the year we have had.

WADA also felt the need to point-out that there was no out-of-competition testing in football and "limited" testing for "Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents" in swimming, cycling and athletics endurance events. There was also "little or no" blood testing took place in weightlifting, the most drug-addled sport of all if retested samples from Beijing 2008 and London 2012 are anything to go by.

Clearly, the organisation of Rio 2016 was at least partly to blame for this, but the singling out of these sports suggests that they were worse than the norm. And in the case of weightlifting, whose officials constantly claim to catch more athletes because their procedures are more stringent than those in other sport, this is not good enough. Weightlifting is the only sport singled-out for a shortage of blood testing at Rio 2016 ©Getty Images

Another nugget buried in the report is that one unnamed International Federation delegate was "so upset with the perceived lack of collaboration that he effectively withdrew all cooperation with the doping control personnel working at his IF’s event".

While many anti-doping officials still have doubts about the envisaged "independent" testing system due to come in by Pyeongchang 2018, the evidence here further suggests that the conduct of Ifs is not good enough.

Overall, the WADA report is a brilliant exercise in the incompetence of Rio 2016, further showing how, despite the brilliance of sporting performances, the first South American Games were far from "marvellous" (©Thomas Bach) in an organisational sense.

Yes, some elements of the programme as well as the wider backs against the wall mentality does deserve praise, and it does seem that the crux of the problem was Brazilian inefficiency rather than fundamental shortcomings.

But certainly the report does, on the whole, produce more bleak reading on sport's overall ability to combat doping http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1043203/nick-butler-wada-report-is-microcosm-of- everything-wrong-with-rio-2016-and-ioc VOCATIV Russian Doping Scandal Finds A New Way To Get Worse

WADA and the IOC just can't get on the same page on doping response, to the detriment of international sports

618293532511097335.jpg' />

Same — AFP/Getty Images By Joe Lemire Nov 01, 2016 at 11:34 AM ET

World sport continues to have little idea how to handle reports of Russia’s state- sponsored doping—its tepid response so far may prompt some athletes to boycott international event, while the country’s own response has been convoluted, to say the least.

The McLaren Report appeared to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt and the World Anti-Doping Agency called for a blanket ban of Russian athletes at the Rio Summer Games. Meanwhile, both WADA and the International Olympic Committee sought to bar Russia from hosting any international sporting event, yet the 2017 International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation world championships remain slated for Sochi. (The IOC later backtracked, saying only no new events should be awarded to Russia, and the site for this was settled in 2013.)

That isn’t sitting well with some competitors, such as British skeleton gold medal winner Lizzy Yarnold, who told the BBC she is considering a boycott of the event if it remains in Sochi, “At the moment I want to leave it open that I don’t know whether I’m going to compete in Sochi.” This is where the fallout of the Russian doping scandal worsens because of the lack of unanimity among the alphabet soup of sporting bodies: WADA, IOC, et al. The consequences are extending beyond Russian athletes receiving doping bans as trust dissipates in sporting governance, writ large.

As Yarnold also said to the BBC, “It’s very important to me to compete in sport for the right reasons, to have sportsmanship and to be clean; to stand on the start line and to trust in the system—and at the moment the system just isn’t up to it.”

WADA has said that the McLaren Investigation Report, Part II, is due in “early December.” That will prioritize winter sports and will land just two months prior to the Bobsleigh world championships, which could cast an even darker cloud over the proceedings.

Russia has appeared to attempt some reform in the wake of the scandal. On one hand, sports deputy minister Yuri Nagornykh was suspended for his role in alleged cheating scandal; he ultimately resigned. The boss of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, stepped down from that role. Vladimir Putin shifted the responsibility of managing the anti-doping lab from the sports ministry to the ROC. Also, previously suggested legislation to make sports doping a criminal offense will reportedly be introduced in parliament this week.

On the other hand, Russia’s sports minister during the scandal, Vitaly Mutko, actually received a promotion and now serves as a deputy prime minister to Putin, overseeing sports, tourism and youth policy; Mutko, mind you, was prohibited from entering the Olympic grounds. The news outlet Inside the Games reported that 42 of the 67 Russian track and field athletes who were banned from Rio will still receive Olympic bonuses for what had been their expected contributions to the country’s medal count. Oh, and Zhukov hasn’t actually stepped down yet.

“We’ve got to make a big decision with regard to attending the worlds,” British Bobsleigh performance director Gary Anderson, who sits on IBSF’s Sports Committee, told Inside the Games. “I have to think about the athletes, the program, and Great Britain and all that has to be taken into account when we make the decision with regards to competing in Russia. Because at the moment, if I’m honest, it’s not something I look forward to.”

Furthermore, the site reported, the IOC has commissioned two of its own reports—one by French judge and IOC Ethics Commission vice-chair Guy Canivet and the other by Swiss IOC member Denis Oswald—that will run mostly parallel to McLaren’s work, although the IOC has asked for his cooperation.

“While the Canivet Commission will deal with the question of an alleged Government-sponsored system of doping, a Disciplinary Commission under the chairmanship of our colleague Denis Oswald is addressing the question of doping or manipulation of samples concerning the Russian athletes participating in the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014,” IOC president Thomas Bach wrote in a letter obtained by Inside the Games.

Bach also said that everyone should “work together as a unified team,” but that is precisely the problem here: The IOC is working as its own team and WADA as its team. The only result is a lack of consensus. http://www.vocativ.com/372401/russian-doping-olympics/ Inside the games Russian athletes facing bleak winter as banned from five of six sports on Pyeongchang 2018 programme

AddT his Sharing Buttons

 Monday, 31 October 2016

Russian athletes face the prospect of being unable to compete this winter in five of the six sports on the programme of the 2018 Paralympic Games in Pyeongchang, seriously putting in doubt whether they will be able to qualify even if a ban on them is lifted in time.

Of the six sports on the programme for Pyeongchang 2018, they are currently only eligible to compete in .

The other five - representing Alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, snowboard and ice - are all directly governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and affected by the body's suspension of the Russian Paralympic Committee imposed on them before Rio 2016.

A World Curling Federation spokesperson clarified that "Russian wheelchair curlers are eligible to compete in its World Curling Championships".

As it stands, this is the only major event in a winter sport in which they able to participate next year.

Russian athletes who compete in sports not governed by the IPC are free to compete in global competitions, however, despite the stance of the world governing body.

As it stands, this means they can compete in all but four of the 22 sports on the at 2020 - athletics, , shooting and swimming.

The IPC are expected to inform Russia of specific criteria they must fulfil in order for this ban to be lifted by the middle of next month. Getting the suspension lifted quickly is vital for Russia if they are to be able to compete and qualify for events at Pyeongchang 2018.

The four summer sports are also affected in this way, as is the non-Paralympic Games programme event of wheelchair .

While the IPC can make final decisions on participation at the Paralympics, as they did when issuing a blanket ban ahead of Rio 2016, they have no control over all other events in non-IPC governed sports.

"Russia cannot enter athletes in competitions sanctioned by the IPC, and/or participate in IPC activities," a spokesperson told insidethegames. insidethegames understands that some of these have considered suspending Russia but have been advised not to because their statutes do not justify them doing so.

They would, therefore, be unable to withstand a Russian appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

International Federations who also represent are, on the whole, those most opposed to any suspension.

"Russian athletes that are member of the Russian Archery Federation (which includes the Para-archers competing at our events) are free to compete at World Archery events in 2017 including the World Archery Para Championships in Beijing," a World Archery spokesperson told insidethegames.

"The suspension of the NPC of Russia has no direct effect on our competitions and only had an effect on the Paralympics.

"They, like the rest of archery's athletes, are subject to a comprehensive international anti- doping programme based on the risk assessment of our sport."

World Archery, who are led by Turkey's IOC vice-president and Medical Commission chair Uğur Erdener, were the most critical of the IPC when they banned Russia from Rio 2016.

A similar stance has been taken by the International Tennis Federation, International Table Tennis Federation, International Equestrian Federation, Badminton World Federation and International Cycling Union.

Russian badminton players won six bronze medals at the European Championships, which closed yesterday in Beek in The .

The ITU reacted similarly, although they did add the caveat that "further decisions" could be considered after they learn additional information on alleged Russian doping from the McLaren Report, due to be published in December.

International Blind Sport Federation secretary general Henk van Aller said: "Until further notice Russian athletes can participate in IBSA Championships.

"We have started an inquiry on the case, but until we have reviewed all documents and decided on further steps, we can’t say anything more about this."

IBSA represent the sports of football five-a-side, and judo.

The International Wheelchair and Amputee Sports Federation (IWAS) added: "Currently Russian athletes can compete in IWAS competitions following testing by an independent, certificated laboratory prior to or during competition.

"The suspension of the Russian Paralympic Committee relates to sports the IPC acts as the International Federation for and the Paralympic Games.

"Our Board is keeping a close eye on developments."

International Federations representing , canoeing, rowing, taekwondo, , and Para-volley have not yet responded to insidethegames' requests for clarification.

It is understood, however, that none of them currently have any sort of suspension in place.

A total of 45 possible cases of "disappearing positives", where samples may have been illegally doctored, were mentioned in the World Anti-Doping Agency commissioned report in relation to disability sport.

Of these, 18 related to non-Paralympic events, including the Deaflympics and Special Olympics.

The remaining 27 covered eight sports, of which five were summer and three were winter.

They consisted of a mixture of IPC-governed and non-IPC governed sports. http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1043204/russian-athletes- facing-bleak-winter-as-banned-from-five-of-six-sports-on- pyeongchang-2018-programme MUNDO DEPORTIVO

El campeón del mundo de 2009 revelaba que no había sido controlado por los peyorativamente conocidos como ‘vampiros’ de la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (AMA) desde hacía “tres o cuatro años” a pesar de tener la obligación de actualizar a diario el programa Adams de localización de los deportistas. Y Button iba más allá en su denuncia al reflejar que ninguno de sus colegas en la parrilla estrella tampoco había pasado recientemente controles. “Este año no me han hecho ningún control y no conozco a ningún piloto que recientemente haya sido testeado”, denunciaba el inglés que a final de esta temporada se retirará de la competición y adoptará un rol de embajador de la escudería McLaren con un papel activo en el desarrollo del monoplaza de los próximos dos años.

Seguía desvelando el británico que “antes solían hacernos tests durante el invierno, pero parece que han suspendido los controles por sorpresa. No me han hecho ninguno en los últimos tres o cuatro años. También solíamos tener tests de orina después de las carreras pero esto también han dejado de hacerlo”.

Y se preguntaba para qué servía tanto control de sus agendas privadas: “Según el reglamento tenemos que usar el programa Adams para hacer nuestras agendas. Cada día le hemos de decir a la AMA donde estamos hora por hora, hemos de darles la dirección de nuestras habitaciones de hotel entre 6 y las 7 de la mañana. Tenemos que respetar religiosamente eso y sentarnos allí y esperar”.

“Así que si vamos a emplear a la gente para hacer el calendario de la AMA, entonces al menos debemos ser testados. De lo contrario es una pérdida de dinero y es una pérdida innecesaria de nuestro tiempo”, apuntaba Button, una voz respetada en el paddock del ‘Gran Circo’.

FIA y FIM adheridos a las directrices del AMA

Aunque tanto la FIA como la FIM están adheridos a las directrices del AMA esa laxitud quizás pueda haber influido en que la Fórmula Uno no tenga escándalos de dopaje, alguno más ha habido en los diferentes Mundiales FIM, pero la idiosincrasia del propio deporte del motor hace que tomar sustancias prohibidas sea una tremenda estupidez porque no da ventajas. Es un deporte que se mide en milésimas, que no admite distracciones, los tiempos de reacción de estos deportistas son más rápidos que los de un deportista ‘normal’ y su concentración debe ser máxima. La resistencia física ayuda pero es apenas un valor añadido en pilotos que pueden competir con fracturas o recien operados como es el caso de los pilotos de motos.

Como máximo alguno puede haber sucumbido a transgredir con drogas sociales tomadas en fiestas fuera de la competición y que dejen trazas en la orina, casos que se han dado en el motociclismo, o a compuestos que se dan en suplementos vitamínicos o que pueden conferir ventajas triviales como uno de los casos más notorios en motociclismo que fue el del australiano Anthony West y su doping por methylhexaneamine, sustancia que está en los descongestionantes nasales y puede tener un efecto similar a la ingesta de cafeina. En esas mismas declaraciones a The Sun el crítico Jenson Button también apuntaba que “para ser honesto y por lo que yo sé no hay nada que pueda ayudar a un piloto de coches en este sentido”. Durante el escándalo del dopaje sistemático ruso y que acarreó su ‘expulsión’ parcial de los Juegos Olímpicos de Río’2016 se preguntó en rueda de prensa a los pilotos de MotoGP al respecto. Una voz tan autorizada como Valentino Rossi explicó que “en el deporte del motor el doping no es muy importante. Nosotros no podemos tomar nada para mejorar las prestaciones en la moto, pero creo que es justo y positivo hacer todos los controles para ponernos al mismo nivel que los otros deportes”. Marc Márquez apuntó que “todos nosotros somos partidarios, al igual que ocurre con el resto de deportes, de pasar controles antidopaje, yo mismo estoy en ese programa que impulsa para introducirlo en la moto”. Y Jorge Lorenzo fue más allá: “Yo propondría que los tres pilotos que suben al podio de MotoGP en cada gran premio pasarán controles. Sería un hecho positivo que nos pondría al mismo nivel que el resto de deportes”. La FIM más seria que la FIA A diferencia de la Fórmula Uno en el Mundial de MotoGP se toman mucho más en serio el tema del control antidopaje. La FIM publica los comunicados oficiales de los controles que se realizan en los Grandes Premios, todos limpios desde que en 2012 se ‘pilló’ en Le Mans a Ant West. En 2012 y 2013 se hicieron controles en Le Mans y Cheste a tres pilotos al azar por cada categoría. En 2014 fue en Assen, en 2015 en Mugello y Misano y este año ha vuelto a tocar en Le Mans. La broma de Lorenzo en Brno También ha habido controles por sorpresa en sus domicilios a varias estrellas de MotoGP. El 21 de junio Jorge Lorenzo recibió en su casa de Lugano la visita de los ‘vampiros’ y lo colgó en su Twitter.

CONMEBOL realiza control antidopaje fuera de competencia a Cerro Porteño y al Nacional de Medellín

Martes, 1 Noviembre, 2016 - 17:30

El equipo Médico de la CONMEBOL procedió a realizar controles antidoping fuera de competencia, según el protocolo CONMEBOL, FIFA y la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (WADA - por sus siglas en inglés) a los jugadores de Cerro Porteño y a los integrantes del plantel del Atlético Nacional de Medellín, quienes disputarán la primera semifinal de la Copa Sudamericana. El procedimiento para el equipo local (21) se realizó en la noche del lunes 31 de octubre en su lugar de concentración en Barrio Obrero de la ciudad de Asunción; mientras que los jugadores del equipo colombiano se sometieron (20) a las pruebas, el domingo 30 en el hotel Bourbon, de Luque, Gran Asunción. Es un operativo habitual de la CONMEBOL, durante sus competencias oficiales, y ahora en la instancia semifinal de la Copa Sudamericana, cuyos juegos de ida se disputarán entre este martes 1 y miércoles 2 de noviembre. La intención es que todas las competencias se desarrollen dentro del Fair Play. Es por eso que desde la nueva CONMEBOL se insiste en que deben hacerse esos controles, dentro y fuera de competencia. El doctor Osvaldo Pangrazio, Jefe Médico de la CONMEBOL indicó que, “el objetivo de estos controles no es perseguir, el objetivo es respetar el Fair Play que pregona nuestro Presidente Alejandro Domínguez y que debe existir en el fútbol. Que los atletas sepan que la CONMEBOL a través de su unidad antidopaje esta presta para que este deporte se mantenga limpio”, remarcó. Se debe destacar la gran predisposición y la colaboración de los jugadores, cuerpo técnico y médico de ambos clubes para con el equipo Médico de la CONMEBOL a la hora de los controles que en total han sumado 41 pruebas antidoping. http://www.conmebol.com/es/conmebol-realiza-control-antidopaje-fuera-de- competencia-cerro-porteno-y-al-nacional-de-medellin SPORT MÁS DEPORTES Rajoy también tiene asignaturas pendientes en el deporte español Rajoy y su gobierno han de dar salida a la ley nueva antidopaje, Plan ADO...

Rajoy ha de poner hili a la aguja y solucionar aspectos como el 'agujero' del basket... (en la foto, Ibaka) EFE CARLOS R. GALINDO 31-10-2016 | 18:19 H. Mariano Rajoy tiene deberes. Algunos de ellos son asignaturas que viene arrastrando el gobierno español desde hace ya tiempo. Suspensos que no consigue aprobar el Ejecutivo y que sonrojan al deporte español. Bruselas nos aprieta por el lado económico y ya se sabe que habrá que apretarse - ¿aún más?- el cinturón porque se avecinan nuevos e importantes recortes. El nuevo gobierno tiene demasiados frentes abiertos: el laboral –acabar con la precariedad y los contratos basura, -; el sanitario –copago, sanidad gratuita y universal para todos…-; cultural –IVA, apoyo al cine, al teatro, al mundo editorial…- y también, por qué no, al deporte. Nos piden –peor aún, nos exigen- una nueva ley antidopaje que se adapte a la que tienen nuestros países vecinos. Eso es lo más urgente. Pero de puertas adentro, también habrá que diseñar un nuevo plan ADO –el actual expira el 31 de diciembre, que es cuando finaliza el ciclo olímpico-, afrontar la delicada situación económica del baloncesto español; decidir de una vez por todas que se hace con los Juegos del Mediterráneo de Tarragona 2017; crear la tan anunciada ley de mecenazgo… LEY ANTIDOPAJE, LO MÁS URGENTE La situación es delicada. La tarea más urgente que tendrá que afrontar la Ejecutiva que preside Mariano Rajoy en comandita con los socialistas del PSOE y Ciudadanos es la nueva ley Antidopaje,que precisará del visto bueno del Congreso. La situación actual es insostenible; La Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (AMA) declaró a España no cumplidora con el Código Mundial Antidopaje, después de de que no fuera capaz de adaptar su normativa a la última versión del Código, en vigor desde el 1 de enero de 2015. La falta de Gobierno y la parálisis de las Cortes impidieron sacar adelante la reforma. Se dio una prórroga (hasta la formación de un nuevo gobierno) y durante ese tiempo España ha estado en la lista de países incumplidores, junto a Rusia y México. Ahora toca solucionar ese tema. Y toca solucionarlo con urgencia. El plan ADO, que expira el 31 de diciembre, tampoco es una cuestión menor pues ha de ser incluido en la Ley de Presupuestos, que será uno de los grandes caballos de batalla del nuevo gobierno. Conviene saber que, por primera vez, Televisión Española, que era uno de sus principales socios, no tendrá los derechos de emisión de los Juegos después de que el Comité Olímpico Internacional (CIO) se decantase por una multiplataforma en Europa para el periodo 2018–2024, Discovery Communications, empresa matriz de Eurosport. En España se verá en abierto en Discovery Max.

TARRAGONA 2017, EN EL AIRE Más asuntos pendientes. ¿Qué futuro le aguarda a Tarragona 2017? Los Juegos del Mediterráneo penden de un hilo. Las cuentas no cuadran, hay retrasos alarmantes en algunas construcciones, el tiempo corre a la contra y el gobierno no cumple con lo acordado. Lo cierto es que esos Juegos son un ‘muerto’ que no interesan a nadie y es probable que nos encontremos ante lo que podría ser su próxima defunción. Supone una importante inversión y el retorno es prácticamente nulo. Por fin, el gobierno tendrá que meterse a fondo en un tema espinoso como es el baloncesto español y sanear sus cuentas –tal y como ya está haciendo con el fútbol-. La deuda de los clubs supera los 100 millones de euros -30 de ellos, a las administraciones públicas- y la ACB pierde cerca de 70 millones. Además, se pretende acabar con la excesiva dependencia que tiene el deporte español con las subvenciones públicas. En este sentido, habrá que idear fórmulas para atraer la inversión privada, lo que supondrá, a su vez, diseñar una nueva ley de mecenazgo, esto es, que las empresas privadas obtengan ventajas fiscales por su apuesta por el deporte http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/mas-deportes/rajoy-tambien-tiene-asignaturas-pendientes- en-el-deporte-espanol-5600044 USADO EN ENTRENAMIENTOS

El oxígeno suplementario, vetado por la Federación Internacional de Esquí La coordinadora antidóping de la FIS ha confirmado la nueva regla, que no permitirá el uso de oxígeno artificial en carrera. ¿Un ejemplo para el alpinismo?

Desnivel.com - Lunes, 31 de Octubre de 2016 - Actualizado a las 11:56h. ¡comenta!

El debate sobre el uso de oxígeno suplementario en montaña no es, por lo visto, una cuestión que ataña únicamente al alpinismo. En nuestra práctica, escasamente regulada por federaciones y estamentos internacionales con poder suficiente, se ha instalado un nicho permanente de usuarios de oxígeno artificial que provoca no pocas interferencias con quienes optan por seguir un alpinismo más puro en los mismos escenarios. Desde el año pasado, el mundo del esquí de competición se ha visto también afectado por el oxígeno suplementario y el debate ha surgido con fuerza. En otoño de 2015, se pudo ver a los esquiadores de fondo de la selección finlandesa luciendo máscaras de oxígeno durante sus entrenamientos en Val Senales, un centro de entrenamiento en altura situado en el Tirol del Sur (Italia). Según fuentes finlandesas, esto se hizo abiertamente para provocar precisamente el debate y una posterior regulación. Los beneficios del oxígeno embotellado van desde evitar cualquier complicación de salud con la altura hasta conseguir un aumento del rendimiento en carrera. Inicialmente, la novedad causó perplejidad en la comunidad del esquí de fondo. La Federación Internacional de Esquí (FIS) elevó una consulta a la Agencia Mundial Antidóping (WADA), que contestó apuntando que el uso de oxígeno suplementario no podía ser considerado como dopaje. Prohibición en carrera Aquella respuesta, que llegó durante el pasado verano, todavía generó mayor inquietud en las instancias esquiadoras. Principalmente porque parecía abrir la puerta incluso al uso del oxígeno suplementario en carrera. Al menos, no había ninguna norma que lo evitase de forma explícita. Sin embargo, un año después del origen de los problemas y a pocas semanas del inicio de la nueva temporada de competiciones del invierno de 2017, la propia FIS ha cogido el toro por los cuernos y ha elaborado una reglamentación propia al respecto. En este sentido, se ha manifestado recientemente Sarah Fussek, coordinadora antidopaje de la FIS: "Puedo confirmar la existencia de la nueva regla que veta la utilización de las máscaras de oxígeno en carrera. El año pasado hubo muchas discusiones al respecto, por eso hemos querido clarificar de una vez por todas la situación prohibiéndolas expresamente". Eso sí, la nueva norma sólo hace referencia a las carreras de Copa del Mundo, Campeonato del Mundo y al resto de competiciones auspiciadas por la FIS. Por otro lado, sigue abierta la incógnita sobre los entrenamientos. Vale la pena también recordar que otros muchos deportes –incluidos algunos tan populares como el fútbol o el fútbol americano– utilizan el oxígeno embotellado para facilitar la recuperación de los deportistas. http://desnivel.com/esqui/el-oxigeno-suplementario-vetado-por-la-federacion-internacional- de-esqui DW DEPORTES Opinión: ya no se puede tomar en serio la lucha antidopaje La Agencia Mundial Antidopaje critica que en Río de Janeiro hayan ocurrido “graves errores” en los controles realizados bajo la supervisión del COI.

¿Qué haría usted para ganar un oro olímpico? La Federación Olímpica Alemana (DOSB) y el Ministerio del Interior llevan a cabo en la actualidad una reforma que afecta al deporte de competición, con el objetivo de que en las próximas Olimpiadas se ganen más medallas. Deportistas, entrenadores y equipos de médicos entrenan y trabajan durante años meticulosa y duramente, haciendo uso de métodos legales, pero también de los ilegales, para poder hacer realidad el sueño de ganar el deseado oro. Da igual lo que perdure el sueño. Y es que las medallas ganadas de forma ilegal ya no son en la actualidad especialmente duraderas. Con exámenes posteriores, cada vez más minuciosos, salen tarde o temprano a la luz cada vez más métodos audaces de dopaje. El Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI) presume mucho de estos "post-tests" e incluso hoy, en el día de la publicación de un informe de observadores independientes, que revela la desastrosa situación del control de dopaje en las Olimpiadas de Río, sostiene ”que fueron Juegos Olímpicos exitosos con un programa antidopaje también exitoso”. "Peores controles en la historia de las Olimpiadas" Olivia Gerstenberger, periodista de Deutsche Welle. ¿De verdad? ¿Cómo se puede hablar de éxito cuando en el transcurso de los controles se cometieron errores espeluznantes? En el informe aparece que, entre otras cosas, simplemente no se pudo encontrar a muchos deportistas. La consecuencia es que solo la mitad de los deportistas o incluso menos pudo realizar las pruebas programadas. Los atletas sin escrúpulos y con experiencia, que querían abusar del sistema, tenían todas las puertas abiertas para manipular los controles. Desde hace semanas, el experto en dopaje del canal ARD, Hajo Seppelt, advirtió en una entrevista que se habían producido confusiones con el sexo y el nombre de los atletas en Río; además no se habían sellado las muestras de acuerdo a los estándares internacionales. Afirmó que observadores independientes calificaron los tests como "los peores en la historia de las Olimpiadas”. Los atletas "limpios" solo pueden entretanto sacudir la cabeza. La confianza en una competición justa, con controles justos y una lucha antidopaje real se reduce una vez más a lo absurdo. El escándalo sobre el dopaje ruso que afectó a todo el país no se ha digerido del todo. En este caso, el COI y la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje se cuelgan el muerto mutuamente desde hace meses. Ante los diletantes controles llevados a cabo en Río, sobre los que el COI tenía la responsabilidad, ambas partes deben aceptar ahora el reproche de que han fracasado. Una labor digna y una política que lucha contra el dopaje se hacen de otra manera.

El presidente de la Federación Internacional de Atletismo (IAAF) Sebastian Coe señaló este viernes que el informe de la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (AMA), que revela "graves deficiencias" en los controles de los Juegos Olímpicos de Rio, le hace sentir "incómodo".

"Lo único que puedo decir es que estos informes son bienvenidos, pero su lectura me hace sentir incómodo, pero me gustaría leer más observaciones como estas", dijo Coe en Catar.

En un informe publicado el jueves la AMA alertó de "graves deficiencias logísticas" que afectaron a los controles antidopaje en los Juegos Rio, incluyendo el caso de deportistas a los que se esperaba y que no pudieron ser encontrados para que pasaran los tests.

Además subrayó la falta de personal antidopaje debidamente capacitado -incluyendo chaperones para tomar los procedimientos de prueba a los atletas-, lo que contribuyó a la incapacidad para lograr los índices diarios para las pruebas fuera de competencia en la villa olímpica.

Coe es partidario de establecer los controles antidopaje de manera independiente, como parte de un plan de revisión de la IAAF, en el congreso extraordinario previsto para el 3 de diciembre. "Creo que el problema está en la gestión de los resultados, con demasiada frecuencia han dependido de los intereses nacionales", dijo.

"No podemos sobrevivir como deporte a menos que los atletas limpios sientan absolutamente que tienen la fuerza de una federación detrás de sus intentos legítimos por hacerlo lo mejor posible. Esto no es negociable", añadió. http://es.globedia.com/coe-siente-incomodo-informe-ama-dopaje-rio-2016 LA VOZ DE GALICIA DEPORTES

Las chapuzas antidopaje de Río La AMA reconoce graves errores en los Juegos, con atletas sin localizar y muestras mal asignadas 0

PAULO ALONSO LOIS REDACCIÓN / LA VOZ 29/10/2016 14:03

Los controles durante los Juegos de Río se convirtieron en una chapuza. Lo reconoce el informe de la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (AMA), que admite «fallos serios». Los problemas para localizar deportistas fueron generalizados, no se llegaron a practicar ni la mitad de los análisis previstosy hasta un centenar de muestras quedaron sin identificar con ningún atleta por errores en la recogida. El texto de 55 páginas realizado por observadores independientes sitúa la raíz del problema en la falta de organización, más que en la implicación de los profesionales: «Sin la dedicación de la gente que hizo los controles, el sistema hubiera colapsado». Errores que continuaron durante los Paralímpicos. Deportes sin vigilancia

Pocos controles en halterofilia y ninguno en el fútbol fuera de competición. La AMA admite una escasa cantidad de controles en halterofilia. «Pocos o ninguno» en un deporte especialmente salpicado por el dopaje en los últimos años. Y el informe también ve «sorprendente» que no se realizaron controles a futbolistas fuera de los estadios. Además, un centenar de muestras fueron mal documentadas y no se pudieron asignar a ningún atleta. Y en algunos de los espacios donde se tomaron las muestras no se cumplieron las normas para evitar la entrada de acompañantes.

Atletas sin paradero

A la búsqueda de cientos de atletas. Según el informe, no se realizaron controles en el 2016, ni antes ni durante los Juegos, a 4.125 atletas, casi 2.000 de ellos participantes en pruebas de «alto riesgo» de dopaje. La AMA incluye como una de las causas principales para que no se hiciesen los controles la imposibilidad de encontrar a los deportistas en Río. «A menudo solo se realizaron el 50 % o menos de las pruebas previstas», indica el texto. «Resulta desalentador para todas las personas que luchamos contra el dopaje que no se hayan aplicado sanciones», explica un experto antidopaje con experiencia en grandes eventos. Según el informe, solo 4.795 deportistas dieron información sobre su paradero. ¿Qué hacían los agentes? Preguntar a compañeros de equipo.

Casos de alto riesgo

Escasa información sobre elementos sospechosos. Antes de los Juegos, la AMA creó una relación de 1.333 deportistas a los que vigilar de forma especial. Por ser potenciales medallistas o participar en pruebas más vinculadas con el dopaje. Pero la AMA, después de pedir información a las federaciones internacionales y entidades antidopaje estatales, careció de respuesta en uno de cada tres casos.

Causas de los fallos

Poca coordinación y experiencia y pobres transportes y conocimiento del inglés. Los controles antidopaje sufrieron algunos de los problemas estructurales que debilitaron los Juegos de Río en diferentes aspectos. Así lo recoge la AMA. La lucha contra las sustancias prohibidas quedó tocada por la falta de material, de experiencia y de pruebas previas. Además, gran parte del personal carecía de los necesarios conocimientos de inglés. Y el plan de trabajo, con la detallada información sobre desplazamientos y entrega de material, no se trasladaba a los equipos hasta última hora.

Consecuencias

Golpe a la credibilidad del sistema y presencia de posibles tramposos. La AMA admite el grave deterioro de la credibilidad de la lucha contra los tramposos con las chapuzas cometidas en Río. «Minan el respeto y la confianza de los atletas en los controles antidopaje y facilitan oportunidades a atletas con experiencia y sin escrúpulos que pueden querer manipular los controles», indica en su informe. http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/deportes/2016/10/29/chapuzas-antidopaje- rio/0003_201610G29P46991.htm Radio Nacional
