There must be national building blocks in arriving at the solution, but, unless there is an international and coordinated approach to the question of doping in sport, however well-intentioned the disparate efforts may be, they will inevitably end in failure.2 In determining the 'legal requirements to conduct blood testing in doping control', it must be determined whether there are any local impediments to the universal requirement that an athlete participating in elite international competition must provide a blood sample or be sanctioned for a 'refusal'. The Council of Europe Working Party on Legal Issues noted that; "in some countries, in particular Austria, blood sampling for any purpose other than a duly prescribed medical reason or legal-alcohol measurement was against the law."3 Athletes in other jurisdictions have also apparently convinced the courts that the provision of blood samples infringes their human dignity.4 The legal framework in the Oceania countries then must be carefully analysed to ensure that the fight against anti-doping in this region can be legally supported.5 PARAMETERS In responding to the question posed, the following limitations have been set: - 1. the reference to 'Oceania' means the countries recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) namely; American Samoa, Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Guam, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu; 2 R W Pound, “Written Testimony before the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation”, 20 October, 1999, p1 (current Chairman of WADA's Foundation Board) 3 Council of Europe, Anti-Doping Convention, Monitoring Group, Working Party on Legal Issues, "Report of the Third Meeting: Strasbourg, 6-7 April, 1995", T-DO (95) 8, 2(d), p2 4 C Petibos, G Deleris and G Cazorla, "Perspectives in the Utilisation of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy of Serum in Sports Medicine: Health Monitoring of Athletes and Prevention of Doping", Sports Med 2000 Jun; 29(6), p387-396 at p389. They also claim that; "Most athletes, because of the metabolic and psychological stresses caused, legitimately refuse blood testing." (p387) 5 Such an examination is also important to answer any criticism that the blood testing requirement is an imposition on individual cultures and societies. See S Boyes, "The International Olympic Committee, Transnational Doping Policy and Globalisation", in J O'Leary, Drugs and Doping in Sport: Socio-Legal Perspectives, Cavendish Publishing Co, London, 2001, p173 and 178. 5 2. the examination of the 'legal requirements' does not include the 'legal risks' associated with conducting blood testing in doping controls;6 3. requirements applying to all anti-doping procedures, such as; natural justice, privacy, impact of the criminal law (including self-incrimination) and confidentiality, will not be examined in detail;7 and 4. it is assumed that blood samples will only be used for anti-doping purposes.8 OCEANIA GENERAL The Oceania region has a number of peculiarities that make a definitive summary difficult. As pointed out by Xavier Sturbois in 1999; “Oceania’s ten million square kilometres are currently home to 11 NOCs [now 14]. The travel times (over 20 hours by plane from east to west and almost 13 hours from north to south) and the resulting problems represent a considerable difficulty for planning and conducting sports medicine courses. Significantly, sports medicine was practically

In accordance with Regulation 20 of the Pacific Games Council Charter, NMASA offers the following information: Bid to Host the 2017 Pacific Mini Games: Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands 3 I. GENERAL BACKGROUND The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is compromised of 14 lovely islands in northern Micronesia. On our three main islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota, one experiences the unhurried, friendly lifestyle and warm, island hospitality that are as unforgettable as our magical Micronesian sunsets. The population of the Northern Mariana Islands, as of January 1, 2011, is estimated at 50,000. Saipan, our largest island and the proposed site for the 2017 Pacific Mini Games, is the most developed of the Northern Marianas, and is home to most of our population. Saipan offers the visiting athlete an inviting combination of modern amenities, such as a thriving tourism district with world-class hotels, restaurants, and shops, and the beauty of a clean and quiet tropical island. Almost all major venues, including proposed Games villages, sports venues, and leisure sites, are located within a short walk or drive.

    THE PACIFIC ISLANDS POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TE'O I.J. FAIRBAIRN CHARLES E. MORRISON RICHARD W. BAKER SHEREE A. GROVES THE PACIFIC ISLANDS THE EAST-WEST CENTER was established in Hawaii in 1960 by the United States Congress "to promote better relations and understand­ ing between the United States and the nations of Asia and the Pacific through cooperative study, training, and research:' Some 2,000 research fellows, graduate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's interna­ tional staff on major Asia-Pacific issues relating to population, economic and trade policies, resources and the environment, culture and com­ munication, and international relations. Since 1960, more than 27,000 men and women from the region have participated in the Center's cooperative programs. Officially known as the Center for Cultural and Technical Inter­ change Between East and West, Inc., the Center is a public, non-profit institution with an international board of governors. Principal funding comes from the United States Congress. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agen­ cies and corporations. THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS PROGRAM (JRP) became an autonomous program within the East-West Center in 1989. The Program advances the Center's overall objectives through work on foreign poli­ cy and related political, economic, and security issues. Program pri­ orities are to 1) promote research and dialogue directed toward creating a stable, peaceful Asia/Pacific community; 2) identify issues in U.S. re­ lations with the Asia/Pacific region and recommend means of strength­ ening these relations; 3) improve understanding of individual societies of the region through cooperative research; and 4) promote contact and dialogue among the region's future leaders.
