  • “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.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2017 the Foundation National Anti Doping Agency of Germany (NADA) Is the Relevant Institution for Clean Sport in Germany
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The foundation National Anti Doping Agency of Germany (NADA) is the relevant institution for clean sport in Germany. It works nationally and internationally to promote fairness, transparency and equal opportunities for all athletes. Its tasks comprise implementation of a standardised testing for Germany, execution of education and doping prevention measures, issuing Therapeutic Use Exemptions and answering medical inquiries, providing legal advice for federations and athletes, as well as international cooperation. NADA thus essentially contributes to preserving value in sports. In July 2002, NADA was founded with a festive act in the Old City Hall of Bonn and has been recognised by the foundation supervisory authority on 21 November in the same year. Since then, it has been pursuing its valuable mission and sup- ports the athletes who honestly pursue their sport. As a non-profit foundation under public law, financed according to the stakeholder model, it is an independent body. NADA opposes doping in sports nationally and internationally alike. For the future of the sport. For Germany as a sports nation. For clean athletes, for transparent success and honest results. FOR CLEAN PERFORMANCE – this is NADA’s vision. This is what brought the initiative „GIVE EVERYTHING, TAKE NOTHING“ to life. It serves as a platform for everyone who wants to commit to the cause of clean sport.

  • Inado Update #82
    iNADO Update #82 10 May 2017 - iNADO Update #82 Vacancy: iNADO is looking for a CEO At the end of 2017 Joseph de Pencier will step down as CEO of iNADO. We are now and until May 29, welcoming applications for this position. For more information, please click here. Independent Observer Report Paralympic Games Rio 2016 On April 4, WADA published its Independent Observer Team’s (IO Team’s) Report concerning the anti-doping program at the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games. All NADOs amd RADOs working with Major Event Organisers, can learn from the Report. The Report assesses the quality of the anti-doping programme delivered at the Rio Games and issues recommendations for later editions. The IPC conducted a total of 1320 tests its OOC testing from the opening of the Paralympic Village and IC testing included urine (1394) and blood samples (242) and ABP (45) collected from all sport disciplines. As a result of this testing, three ADRVs were pursued. In general, the Report gives the AD programme of the IPC high marks, for instance due to its collaboration with NADOs and IFs previous to the games. However, it also highlights 13 recommendations of high importance to imrove further ediitions and protect clean athletes. Among these, we would like to point: IPC should document a comprehensive risk assessment of all sport disciplines and conduct a taskforce with WADA to gather and evaluate intelligence information for future Paralympic Games. IPC should adopt a policy to penalise NPCs that do not provide whereabouts informations on a timely manner. LOC together with local NADO should guarantee that a sufficient number of chaperones are sufficiently trained and available.

  • The Global Governance of Anti-Doping: a View from Two Whistleblowers
    The Global Governance of Anti-Doping: A View from Two Whistleblowers Stepanova, Yulia; Stepanov, Vitaly and Harris, Spencer John University of Colorado, United States of America [email protected] Aim and Background The Russian Doping Scandal has received considerable public attention ever since the Sundance showing and subsequent Netflix broadcast of Icarus in August, 2017. Less prominently, investigative journalists such as Nick Harris and Hajo Seppelt had reported on systemic doping in Russia in July 2013 and December 2014, respectively. The Russian case is both remarkable and shocking—remarkable in the degree to which doping was an embedded and state sanctioned practice to support the enhancement of athletic performance, and shocking in the initial unwillingness or inability of anti-doping agencies to properly investigate the case. More recently, the WADA commissioned independent examinations (the Independent Commission Report and the Independent Person Report); the IOC set up and concluded disciplinary commissions (The Schimd and Oswald Commissions), ultimately barring the Russian team from the 2018 Winter Olympic Games; and, on February 1, 2018, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld the appeals of twenty-eight Russian athletes. Despite this latter action, the insights concerning the mis-steps and governance failure of WADA are other structures involved in global anti-doping governance appear to have been buried or 'painted over' by recent developments and an overarching concern for impression management and the desire to somehow preserve the much-maligned notion of Olympism (Sugden & Tomlinson, 2012 and many others) and the integrity of the Olympic sport system. Research Design At the centre of this case are a small number of whistle-blowers that have shared stories, recorded evidence and made available data that have revealed the true scale and scope of the Russian doping program.

    English script of the ARD-documentary “Top-secret Doping: How Russia makes its Winners”, which was broadcasted in Germany on Wendsday, 18.50 hrs. (CET) 00:03 This is Yulia Stepanova and Vitaliy Stepanov and their small son Robert. In their native Russia they don’t feel safe anymore. Because they’ve given away a secret. But their story really begins at the beginning of this year. 00:22 Graphic Insert: "The Secrets of Doping: How Russia makes its winners" Graphic Insert: "A film by Hajo Seppelt" 00:48 The Olympic Winter Games in February in Sochi. Russia presents itself as a proud sporting nation. The world's largest country wins the most gold medals. As already at the World Athletics Championships a year earlier. And as so of- ten at other major sports events. Russia - a superpower in sports. 01:17 Shortly after the Games. In my office, I received several emails. In Sochi I had reported on doping in Russia for the first time. Openly and anonymously, now significantly more extraordinary things about Russian sports are being reported to me. Yet I still do not suspect that this could be the starting point of an incredible story. One email message, in particular attracts my attention. From Moscow. From Vitaliy Stepanov and his wife Yuliya. 01:48 In April I set off on my way to Russia for the first time. The two of them want to meet me in Moscow. My cameraman is there, but whether he can take pictures of the meeting, I do not know yet.

  • MARCA El COI Ocultó Positivos De Deportistas Jamaicanos En Los
    MARCA El COI ocultó positivos de deportistas jamaicanos en los Juegos de Pekín. 3 abr 2017 El Comité Olímpico Internacional ocultó o no siguió investigando casos de dopaje de atletas jamaicanos, incluidos sprinters, según aseguró la televisión pública alemana ARD.. Según la cadena, unas pruebas B aparentemente positivas de clembuterol tomadas durante los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín 2008 fueron consideradas negativas pese a que se había detectado la sustancia prohibida. El clembuterol es un broncodilatador que posee notables efectos anabolizantes, por lo que es una de las sustancias prohibidas en las disciplinas deportivas. EL COI salió al paso de las acusaciones para aclarar que estos casos de valores mínimos de clembuterol habían sido archivados de conformidad con la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (AMA). "En el análisis de pruebas de orina de los Juegos de Pekín 2008 fueron analizados varios casos de atletas de distintos países y disciplinas con un nivel muy bajo de clembuterol", reza el comunicado del COI. En Pekín Jamaica acudió con una delegación de 50 deportistas, 23 hombres y 27 mujeres. Acabó con 11 medallas: seis oros, tres platas y dos bronces. Aunque participó en hípica, natación y ciclismo, todas las medallas las logró en atletismo. Usain Bolt ganó tres oros: 100, 200 y 4x100 metros. En enero el COI quitó a Jamaica el oro del relevo masculino 4x100 por el dopaje de Nesta Carter. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce fue oro en los 100, mientras que Sherone Simpson y Kerron Stewart compartieron la plata. Veronica Campbell-Brown logró el oro en los 200, prueba que vio a Kerron Stewart con el bronce al cuello.

  • ICARUS” Film Review: “Awesome!”
    Λ A T H L E T V E S V A LΛ L I A N C E “ICARUS” film review: “Awesome!” By Steven V. Selthoffer CEO AVA Date: August 21, 2017 20:12 pm GMTCET (Los Angeles, CA) – The ground-breaking and enormously successful film “ICARUS” directed and written by Bryan Fogel, USA does more to promote clean sports and fair play in one two-hour documentary than the entire International Olympic Committee and World Anti-Doping Agency could ever do in 100 years. The film punctuated with series after series of unexpected twists and turns will not only leave you breathless at points, but, without a breath through much of it. You are held in suspense as the drama of unfolding global news events and emerging international intrigues explode on the screen as news organizations rush to cover the unfolding cataclysmic Russian doping scandals. Then, if that wasn’t enough, Fogel’s advisor Grigory Rodchenkov slowly opens up and confesses about the secrets of the Russian doping programs going back to the 1960’s. Because of his dual role as an anti-doping director and a doping facilitator, he then must defect to the USA under threats for his life after his two Russian colleagues die unexpectantly of heart attacks within eight days of each other. Rodchenkov was next on the staff organization chart. It’s clear, the more you know about Olympic sports, the more you will like it. Fogel started the film with the correct premise, setting out to expose what is genuinely wrong with the current anti-doping system by “doping” himself, placing himself on a doping program (monitored first by an American doctor and secondly by Russian anti-doping director Grigory Rodchenkov) similar to what other cyclists had used, but alerted the anti-doping authorities in advance of what he was doing in order to see if the anti-doping system could catch him.
