The key workers — African giant pouch rats — keep their noses on the job. This year in Cambodia, the rats and their human handlers have cleared hundreds of acres of land mines and unexploded munitions, mak- ing way for local farmers. In early November, the teams were finishing up 70 acres just off the highway and past a two-room, wooden Cambodian farmhouse on stilts, over a muddy pasture and through a grove of cashew trees. “From the time we started working, we’ve already cleared 13.25 hectares,” or 33 acres, said Mark Shukuru, senior technical SEE CLEAR ON PAGE 5 PAGE 2 F3HIJKLM •STARS AND STRIPES• Monday, December 23, 2019 BUSINESS/WEATHER EXCHANGE RATES Spending bill includes funding for wild horse program Military rates Switzerland (Franc) ...........................0.9825 Euro costs (Dec. 23) .........................$1.1387 Thailand (Baht) .................................... 30.18 Dollar buys (Dec. 23) ........................€0.8782 Turkey (Lira) ........................................5.9349 The Washington Post available 60 days after the bu- rounding up as many as 130,000 British pound (Dec. 23) ........................$1.34 (Military exchange rates are those Japanese yen (Dec. 23) ...................... 107.00 available to customers at military banking reau submits a five-year plan that, wild horses over a decade, was as- South Korean won (Dec. 23) ..........1,135.00 facilities in the country of issuance The Bureau of Land Manage- Commercial rates among other things, includes horse for Japan, South Korea, Germany, the sailed by several horse advocacy Bahrain (Dinar) ...................................0.3770 ment’s wild horse and burro pro- Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

The comfortable satisfaction standard is well-known in CAS practice, as it has been the normal CAS standard in many anti-doping cases even prior to the World Anti- Doping Code (WADC). The test of comfortable satisfaction must take into account the circumstances of the case. Those circumstances include the paramount importance of fighting corruption of any kind in sport and also considering the nature and restricted powers of the investigation authorities of the governing bodies of sport as compared to national formal interrogation authorities. The gravity of the particular alleged wrongdoing is relevant to the application of the comfortable satisfaction standard in any given case.

Liebe Olympiateilnehmer, Ich bin ein deutscher Rechtswissenschaftler und Rechtsanwalt , seit 1997 auf Sportrecht und inter- nationale Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit spezialisiert und einer der Anwälte, der die russischen Athleten am Sportgerichtshof CAS / TAS in Lausanne in Verbindung mit den Anschuldigungen von Dr. Rodchenkov bezüglich der Olympischen Winterspiele in Sotschi 2014 vertreten hat. Die Olympischen Spiele in PyeongChang 2018 sind gerade vorüber und ich hoffe, Sie haben ihre Teil- nahme genossen. Ich hoffe, Sie waren erfolgreich und freuen sich über Ihre Medaillen. Wenn dem so sein sollte tut es mir leid, dass der Triumph niemals vollständig sein wird. Ich hätte mir für Sie ge- wünscht, dass Sie gegen die besten Athleten aus Russland hätten antreten können. Jetzt aber wer- den Sie niemals wissen, ob Sie ihre Medaille zum Beispiel auch gegen Viktor Ahn, Anton Shipulin, Sergey Ustiugov oder Alexander Legkov gewonnen hätten. Sie werden mit der Tatsache leben müssen, dass die Olympischen Spiele 2018 irregulär waren. Ihnen wurde der pure und vollständige Sieg genommen und Sie sind Opfer des beispiellosen Angriffs auf die Integrität der Olympischen Spiele geworden. Sie mögen glauben, dass der Angriff von russischen Athleten in der Vergangenheit herrührt und dass Ihre russischen Gegner abwesend waren, um Sie als saubere Athleten zu schützen. Das ist es, was das Internationale Olympische Komitee und WADA Sie glauben lassen möchte. Die Wahrheit sieht anders aus.

Selthoffer Athletes Channel September 12, 2019 20:12 pm GMT +1 (Lausanne, SUI) – New revelations have come to light in the Sun Yang case from Chinese state run media Xinhuanet in the past two days upending global public opinion that only one member of the three person testing team was trained to perform the tests on the swimmer, also calling into question the ages of the other two anti-doping DCOs and their medical training according to Sun’s attorney Zhang Qihuai, Chinese Media: Tester in Sun Yang Case was Untrained Classmate of Main Officer, Jared Anderson, SwimSwam, August 28, 2019. In a second report this time from Channel News Asia August 27 states that there is possible security video footage of the anti-doping mission that night. Sun states (Weibo) “There is something I can’t say, I can’t make the truth public… But fortunately the surveillance cameras have recorded everything, otherwise I won’t be able to defend myself against irresponsible accusations.” And it was announced earlier from the Court of Arbitration and Sport, Lausanne, SUI on August 20, 2019 that the Sun Yang, CHN and FINA vs WADA CAS case will be held after October 2019 in public with full media in attendance. That changes the dynamics. This a major victory for transparency, athletes rights and will force issues out into the open that WADA, the IOC and others have been reluctant to address.
