    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.

The challenge of combating doping, corruption, match fixing and abuse were discussed by athletes, coaches and administrators as well as leaders of national government agencies. 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.

    This is an Accepted Manuscript of a chapter published by Taylor & Francis Group in Fincoeur B, Gleaves J & Ohl F (eds.) Doping in Cycling: Interdisciplinary Perspectives. Ethics and Sport. Doping in Cycling: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Routledge, pp. 177-188. https://www.routledge.com/Doping-in-Cycling-Interdisciplinary-Perspectives-1st- Edition/Fincoeur-Gleaves-Ohl/p/book/9781138477902 The Decline of Trust in British Sport since the London Olympics: Team Sky’s Fall from Grace Paul Dimeo and April Henning Abstract The success of Team Sky has been over-shadowed by a range of allegations and controversies, leaving significant doubts around their much-vaunted pro anti-doping stance. This chapter aims to contextualise these doubts within the wider frame of British sport, and more specifically the decline of trust. We trace the emergence of Team Sky from the National Lottery funded track team, arguing that the London Olympics was a pinnacle of medal-winning and public admiration. The turn towards professional road cycling was accompanied by new approaches to medicalisation. The Fancy Bears hack of WADA’s database, whistle-blower insights, Government inquiries, and media scrutiny have presented the public with sufficient evidence and critique to undermine the reputation of Team Sky’s management and riders. Other factors have contributed to the decline of trust, not least evidence of doping from the Russia investigations, the leaked IAAF blood files, the role of the IAAF senior managers, the conflict between WADA and the IOC over banning Russian athletes, and other related debates. We argue that the high-profile debate over the use of drugs in British professional cycling can be understood as symptomatic of a wider malaise affecting British sport, which in turn can be contextualised, explained, and seen as part of a broader shift in scepticism regarding political leaders and media organisations.

  • 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 Freeman Case; Some Tribunal Or Medical Board Cases Can Take Years to Close
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling The Freemanhttps://theouterline.com Case — Cycling’s Next Tribunal Dr. Richard Freeman has been feeling the heat as his medical malpractice tribunal in Great Britain nears its conclusion. Meanwhile, the biological passport system has also recently come under fire in Spain. Anti- doping practices in pro cycling may change as a result. The circus that is Dr. Richard Freeman’s Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) hearing in Great Britain picked up again in October, with many new face-palm revelations by the former Team Sky and British Cycling medical director. Although it has made for a titillating media sideshow, we need to move beyond the more salacious details revealed by the hearings. Along with a Spanish court’s recent rejection of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) system as proof of doping, the ever-thinner line between medical support and doping in sport has reached a critical point. Legally-empowered investigative organizations, outside of sports governance, may now start to play a more important role in anti-doping in the future. Great Britain’s MPTS is notable for how it was created following a major breakdown in its National Health Service (NHS) oversight – the case of serial killer Dr. Harold Shipman, which was recently re-examined in a BBC program. Over an estimated 25-year span, Shipman purposely manipulated NHS medical reporting and medication ordering records, until he was apprehended in 1998. During this time, it is alleged that he may have killed upwards of 200 of his patients with overdoses of medical-grade heroin.

  • Team Sky – Points of Clarification on Ukad Investigation and Evolution of Anti-Doping and Medical Practices
    TEAM SKY – POINTS OF CLARIFICATION ON UKAD INVESTIGATION AND EVOLUTION OF ANTI-DOPING AND MEDICAL PRACTICES BACKGROUND In September 2016, Team Sky was made aware of an allegation concerning a potential breach of anti-doping rules around the Critérium du Dauphiné race in June 2011. Specifically, it was alleged that a package containing triamcinolone was sent from the UK to Dr Richard Freeman, our race doctor, and that the triamcinolone was subsequently administered via an intra-muscular injection to Sir Bradley Wiggins following the final stage of the race. Dr Freeman and Bradley Wiggins both denied categorically that this had happened. Nonetheless, it was a serious allegation and it is right that it should have been investigated thoroughly by UK Anti-doping (UKAD), the statutory anti-doping body. Team Sky has co-operated fully with UKAD’s investigation and looks forward to its conclusion. A number of current and former Team Sky staff and riders have been interviewed by UKAD, including all riders and senior staff present at the Dauphiné in 2011. We have also provided extensive documentation and contextual information, both proactively and in response to requests made by UKAD. As part of their inquiry into combatting doping in sport, the UK Parliamentary Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee called the Chief Executive of UKAD to give evidence in a Parliamentary session on 1 March 2017 where she provided an update on the investigation. It should be made clear that, as far as we understand, UKAD’s extensive investigation has, to date, found no evidence whatsoever to substantiate the allegation that was made.
