  • The 2016 Olympic Games: Health, Security, Environmental, and Doping Issues
    The 2016 Olympic Games: Health, Security, Environmental, and Doping Issues L. Elaine Halchin, Coordinator Specialist in American National Government John W. Rollins, Coordinator Specialist in Terrorism and National Security August 8, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R44575 The 2016 Olympic Games: Health, Security, Environmental, and Doping Issues Summary The 2016 Olympic Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 5-21, 2016, and will be followed by the Paralympic Games, September 7-18, 2016. Notably, these are the first games to be hosted by a South American city. Reportedly, 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will participate in the Olympics, including 555 athletes from the United States. Most Olympic events will take place in and around Rio de Janeiro. In addition to Rio de Janeiro, soccer matches will be held in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Manaus, São Paulo, and Salvador. Host countries and cities often have to deal with a variety of questions or issues, which is also true for Brazil and Rio de Janeiro. The list of issues or potential problems that might have implications for athletes, team personnel, and spectators participating in or attending the 2016 Rio Games includes the Zika virus, public safety threats, security concerns, and environmental conditions. It also bears noting that the act of hosting the Olympics may have implications for Brazil. Finally, doping is of particular concern this year because of revelations regarding a state- orchestrated doping scheme perpetrated by Russian authorities and sports organizations. Each candidate city for the 2016 Games was required to address 14 themes in its bid, such as environment and meteorology, finance, security, medical services, and doping control.

    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2015/A/3899 F. v. Athletics Kenya (AK), award of 3 July 2015 Panel: Mr James Reid QC (United Kingdom), Sole Arbitrator Athletics Doping (terbutaline) De novo hearing Requirements related to the application of a reduced period of ineligibility for the use of a Specified Substance No intent to enhance sport performance Duties of the athlete Determination of the applicable sanction 1. Even if an athlete was deprived of an essential right i.e. of the opportunity for a hearing before the national sport federation, this fatal defect in the procedure is however overcome by the fact that CAS appeal is by way of a hearing de novo of the issues on appeal. 2. Under IAAF Rule 40.4, where an athlete can establish how a Specified Substance entered his/her body and that such Specified Substance was not intended to enhance the athlete’s sport performance, the penalty for the anti-doping offence on a first violation will be at a minimum, a reprimand and no period of ineligibility from future competitions and, at a maximum, two (2) years’ ineligibility. 3. According to the comfortable satisfaction standard, the proof that an athlete had no intention of enhancing his/her sporting performance can be demonstrated by the athlete’s open declaration of a product (containing the prohibited substance) on the doping control form. 4. Under IAAF Rule 32.2 an athlete is responsible for knowing what constitutes an anti- doping rule violation and the substances and methods which have been included on the Prohibited List.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 26Th April 2021 Attn: SPORTS EDITORS
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 26th April 2021 Attn: SPORTS EDITORS PRESS RELEASE Our attention is drawn to an email sent by an individual known as Christian Rohde to the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) claiming to work for a German Television Network known as ZDF. In the email, Mr. Rohde alleged that he received information that Kenya, through ADAK and Athletics Kenya [AK] are engaged in a systematic coverup of doping cases among Kenyan athletes. Upon receipt of this email, and owing to the seriousness of the allegations, ADAK alerted the office of the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who swiftly took over the matter for investigation. The ‘alleged informant’ was arrested and found in possession of several copies of forged letters supposedly PRESS RELEASE -26TH APRIL, 2021 1 sent from ADAK and Athletics Kenya (AK). He was also found in possession of three laptops and several mobile phones which have been confiscated for analysis. This individual was charged with twelve counts of forgery and arraigned before a Court of Law this morning for plea taking. The Criminal Justice System is now seized of this matter and we will therefore not further delve into the details. Nevertheless, we wish to state that the Ministry has noted with great concern that whenever Kenya is about to participate in a major International Sporting event, unscrupulous characters embark on a mission to disparage Kenya’s decades of well-deserved sporting repertoire and our leadership in the global anti-doping efforts. Kenya has served on the WADA Foundation Board and collaborated with WADA to align our laws to international standards, anti-doping education, comparative anti-doping efficiency systems, athlete education, technological advancement for results management and many other core areas necessary to build an effective anti-doping ecosystem.
