Boletín De Noticias De Dopaje 3/01/2017 Boobliqui.com SERGEY USTYUGOV: "IT IS UNPLEASANT TO HEAR QUESTIONS ABOUT DOPING AND SUSPICION" Monday, 02 January 2017 14:57 Russian Sergey Ustyugov said in an interview with the Norwegian media that it is not under pressure history with doping scandals surrounding the sport. 24-year-old athlete won the first two race in the "Tour de Ski". – I honestly don't know, as I look at all the other athletes – quoted by VG Ustyugov. – Maybe someone is looking at me strangely. I didn't see it. Of course, I am happy with the results. I like to fight and win. Want to win the "Tour de Ski". Will do anything for that. – I believe you have a suspicion, given all the checks? Maybe it was the passports of blood or because of something else. But I don't feel any pressure from anti-doping authorities. – Can you say clean? – Yes, you can. – Is it possible to be a Russian, to win and not to fall under suspicion? I don't like such questions. Hate to hear that if you speak Russian and well, it is likely that under doping. I don't like that people think and ask such questions. My friends who stayed at home, watching the race on TV, give me strength. I speak for them. – If they send you messages? – Yes, they wish me good luck. They are happy when I win. We are close to them. http://boobliki.com/sports/356-sergey-ustyugov-it-is-unpleasant-to-hear-questions-about- doping-and-suspicion Tol.org Russian Doping Whistleblower Polarizes Opinions Praised abroad, runner’s decision to expose state-sponsored program have often met with an angry reaction in Russia. 2 January 2017 A “traitor" who "blackened our government and the whole country” – that’s how a local from Kursk in western Russia describes Yuliya Stepanova (pictured), the Russian runner who contributed greatly to the revelations that have tarnished the reputation of the country’s sports programs. Those thoughts echoed a feeling shared by many in the country, the BBC found out after journeying to Stepanova’s hometown to find out local reactions to their native daughter’s fateful decision. Together with her husband Vitaly Stepanov, a former Russian anti-doping official, Stepanova meticulously documented the doping she was exposed to, and took part in, during her sporting career, including the authorities’ habit of turning a blind eye to athletes who chose to “run dirty” in order to enhance their performances. After their allegations were run by German broadcaster ARD, the couple emigrated to the United States, saying they feared for their safety, according to AP. The mere mention of her name is enough to get a BBC reporter almost thrown out of the school she studied at. The consequences were even harder on her family, with Stepanova’s mother experiencing harassment at her workplace in a hospital, for raising an “unpatriotic daughter,” the BBC writes. Still, some people also showed appreciation for Stepanova’s deeds. “I can't say I'm proud of her but she did what needed to be done," an engineering student told the BBC, while a retired person condoned her actions on the grounds that she acted "according to her conscience," and "betrayed nobody." The official reaction was far from warm, with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman calling her a “Judas,” while Russian sports officials insisted that Stepanova’s allegations were an isolated incident, according to the BBC. “The problem everyone faces in Russia is that as soon as you open your mouth you will be fired from the places you are employed by ... There is nowhere you can go. You open your mouth and you lose all your jobs. I don’t think many people are ready to do that,” Stepanov said according to The Guardian. Last week, in an interview with The New York Times, the head of the Russian anti-doping agency admitted the existence of an "institutional conspiracy" meant to hide doping in Russian sports. But she claimed that no government top officials were involved. For the Rio Olympics, Russia competed with a stripped-down team, after around a third of the original list of 389 competitors were barred, most on suspicion of doping. The Stepanov couple’s revelations were credited, as well as blamed in Russia, for that. Stepanova’s steroid usage was also detrimental to her career, leading to a two-year ban for blood passport abnormalities in 2013, and a ban from last year’s Rio Olympics, the BBC writes in a different article. She had hoped to compete under a neutral flag. The world athletics governing body, IAAF, provisionally suspended Russia last November after the anti-doping agency WADA released a sensational report claiming the Russian government likely helped trainers and officials run the doping scheme. http://www.tol.org/client/article/26590-russia-doping-sports-yuliya-stepanova- whistleblower.html Match Tenis ITF LANZÓ APP ANTIDOPAJE 3 enero, 2017 La Federación International de Tenis (ITF) anunció el lanzamiento de una aplicación para el uso de los jugadores y personas interesadas, que comprende todo lo relacionado con el sistema antidopaje del tenis en el mundo, como medicamentos prohibidos, cambios realizados respecto al 2017, preguntas frecuentes sobre este tema y atención al usuario escribiendo al correo [email protected]. Cabe resaltar que la aplicación no tiene ningún costo y está en las plataformas para iPhone y Smartphones. Redacción Match Tenis http://www.matchtenis.com/itf-lanzo-app-antidopaje/ EL NUEVO CASO DOPING SURGIÓ EN AGOSTO Sabado, Diciembre 31 de 2016 Descargar Audio Según las fuentes el nuevo caso de doping, que tiene a un jugador de Guaraní como protagonista, habría ocurrido en agosto del 2016. Sin embargo, el caso recién sale a la luz en los últimos días del año a raíz de los diversos trámites que se cumplieron para notificar a la Asociación Paraguaya de Fútbol (APF). En la tarde del viernes se conoció la noticia de que un jugador de Guaraní estaría involucrado en un nuevo caso de doping. El Dr. Carlos Frutos Porro explicó que el laboratorio encargado de realizar las pruebas antidoping no declara si esta es positiva o no, más bien realiza un informe contando la existencia de un resultado adverso que es enviado a la FIFA, luego a la WADA (Agencia Mundial Antidoping) y a la ONAD (Organización Nacional Antidoping) para finalmente llegar a la APF y al jugador. Todo este trámite hizo que el caso saltara a luz recién en los últimos días del 2016. “Un resultado de laboratorio no arroja un llamado doping positivo, el laboratorio lo que envía es un informe con el resultado al que llamamos adverso. Para que eso se convierta en un doping positivo este atleta debe ser sometido a diferentes procedimientos, entre ellos, la realización de otras pruebas o la apertura del frasco B (segunda muestra de la misa que arrojó el resultado adverso) y una investigación de la comisión médica y del Tribunal Disciplinario para determinar si el caso se convierte en doping positivo o no”, expresó Frutos Porro. La sustancia que arrojó el “resultado adverso” en las muestras del jugador de Guaraní sería la octopamina que es producida por el cuerpo humano y pude ser encontrada en las naranjas agrias y sirve como estimulante, similar a la cafeína y la efedrina los cuales podrían tener efectos quemadores de energía y supresores del apetito, aumentando la tasa metabólica. Como consecuencia, se produciría una pérdida de peso. “Si este atleta ingirió un té de cascara de naranja agria antes de un partido esta sustancia va a estar presente en su orina”, agregó el médico. http://www.radio970am.com.py/articulo/17651/el-nuevo-caso-doping-surgi-en-agosto- /41.

    EL PERIÓDICO Lydia Valentín: "Sabía que competía con rivales que no iban limpias" La bronce olímpica de halterofilia en Rio 2016 recuperará también medallas de Pekín 2008 y Londres 2012 JORDI COTRINA Lydia Valentín posa este viernes en Barcelona. JOAN CARLES ARMENGOL / BARCELONA VIERNES, 21 DE OCTUBRE DEL 2016 - 18:01 CEST Lydia Valentín está en Barcelona. Esta sábado se pone delante de 300 personas en una clase magistral de fitness, patrocinada porBridgestone, bajo el lema 'Persigue tu sueño, supera los obstáculos', que viene como anillo al dedo a una deportista que ha llegado a lo más alto en su modalidad, la halterofilia, tras superar multitud de piedras en el camino y vicisitudes de lo más pintorescas. La leonesa de Camponaraya, pequeño pueblo cercano aPonferrada (León) donde nació hace 31 años, es la única deportista que en un mes ha sido medallista olímpica tres veces… en tres Juegos distintos. A principios de agosto se enteró de que el podio de su categoría (75 kilos) de Londres 2012 se había caído entero al reanalizarse las muestras antidopaje, lo que le daba la victoria; el día 12 se colgó el bronce en Río 2016, y pocos días después de regresar a casa otra revisión de Pekín 2008 la llevó del quinto al segundo puesto. Oro, bronce y plata en un mes. "Voy a reclamar las medallas y los premios del 2008 y el 2012 porque es justo y estoy en mi derecho" -¡Qué montón de sensaciones debió sentir durante ese mes, ¿no?!Muchísimas. Fue la mezcla de muchos sentimientos. Primero sentí una alegría inmensa, pero después piensas: ¡Cómo me han podido fastidiar tanto! ¡Cómo es posible que se permita esto! Estamos hablando de deporte.

IOC President Thomas Bach wants the Forum to bring people from all walks of life together to express a wide range of views as part of the Olympic Agenda 2020, the strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement. Emphasising the Forum’s open approach, the battle to combat doping in sport brought together the World Anti-Doping Agency’s director of intelligence and investigations Gunter Younger alongside Benjamin Cohen, Director General of the newly created International Testing Agency (ITA), with the British cyclist David Millar, who was banned for two years in 2004 after admitting taking banned performance-enhancing drugs before becoming a prominent anti-doping campaigner. 1,600 delegates from all walks of life are attending the forum, which takes place in the Argentine capital ahead of the 3rd Summer Youth Olympic Games.

  • Iaaf Comments on Independent Commission's Report #1
    IAAF COMMENTS ON INDEPENDENT COMMISSION'S REPORT #1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On 9 November 2015, the Independent Commission issued a report (the IC Report) that set out evidence of widespread doping by Russian athletes, but also suggested that 'particular highly placed members and officials of IAAF' may have taken bribes to delay the bringing of anti-doping charges against certain athletes in 2012. On that basis, the Independent Commission suggested that it had 'identified systemic failures within the IAAF and Russia that prevent or diminish the possibility of an effective anti-doping program …'. These allegations of corruption by individuals formerly associated with the IAAF are truly abhorrent, and the IAAF cannot, and does not, seek to avoid or downplay them in any way. The IAAF wishes to salute the courage of the whistle-blowers (including its own staff members) who have helped to expose the wrongdoing described in the IC Report. It will do everything in its power to punish the wrongdoers and to reform its own systems to make sure that no one can ever again interfere improperly with its anti-doping procedures. However, the IAAF believes it is also important to point out that: ñ No doping case has been covered up by the IAAF. All cases that should have been pursued were pursued and all cases that should have been sanctioned were sanctioned in accordance with IAAF Rules and the World Anti-Doping Code. ñ The IAAF is aware of four cases where (as the Independent Commission suggests) there were unexplained and suspicious delays in the prescribed results management process.

  • 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.

Koller a1 Copyright © 2018 by Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law, Vanderbilt Law School; Dionne L. Koller A TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY OLYMPIC AND AMATEUR SPORTS ACT ABSTRACT Recent scandals involving national governing bodies for sport and allegations of athlete abuse have captured media attention. The most recent, focusing on the actions of USA Gymnastics, prompted Congress to propose legislation to require better protections for Olympic Movement athletes. Signed into law on February 14, 2018, the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 designates the United States Center for SafeSport (SafeSport) as the independent organization charged with exercising jurisdiction over the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and sport national governing bodies to safeguard amateur athletes against all forms of abuse. Congress's instincts in this regard are admirable, and the empowerment of SafeSport is critically important. However, this Article asserts that the issue targeted by the recently enacted legislation must be viewed in the context of the overall regulation of Olympic and amateur sport in the United States.
