  • IOC Reanalysis Programme Beijing 2008 and London 2012 The
    Last updated on 18 August 2017 IOC reanalysis programme Beijing 2008 and London 2012 The protection of clean athletes and the fight against doping are top priorities for the International Olympic Committee (IOC), as outlined in Olympic Agenda 2020, the IOC’s strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement. Programme initiated prior the Olympic Games Rio 2016 To provide a level playing field for all clean athletes at the Olympic Games Rio 2016, the IOC put special measures in place, including targeted pre-tests and the reanalysis of stored samples from the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012, following an intelligence-gathering process that started in August 2015 – in consultation with WADA and International Federations (IFs). The additional analyses on samples collected during the Olympic Games Beijing 2008 and London 2012 were performed with improved analytical methods, in order to possibly detect prohibited substances that could not be identified by the analysis performed at the time of these editions of the Olympic Games. For reference, some reanalysis of the stored samples of Beijing 2008 and London 2012 was already conducted in 2009 and 2015 respectively, leading to the sanctioning of six athletes. The programme for Beijing samples has concluded due to the statute of limitations. The total number of confirmed Adverse Analytical Findings (AAFs) by reanalysis in 2016 was announced as 101. Targeted re-analysis programme In order to support the investigations of Prof. McLaren and his team, the IOC ordered a number of targeted re-analyses of Russian athletes’ samples during the course of 2016. In December 2016, the IOC also extended the mandate of the Oswald Commission to examine all samples collected from Russian athletes during the Olympic Games London 2012, following the findings of the completed Independent Person Report.

Olympic Solidarity is the body that ensures that athletes with talent, regardless of their financial status, have an even chance of reaching the Olympic Games, winning gold medals and breaking world records. Olympic Solidarity is responsible for administering and managing the National Olympic Committees' share of the revenue from the sale of broadcasting rights to the Olympic Games. Working in particular with the most needy NOCs and their Continental Associations, Olympic Solidarity uses this money to develop assistance programmes. In the four years leading up to the Beijing Olympic Games the total amount allocated was just under "WORKING WITH NOCS AND CONTINENTAL ASSOCIATIONS, SOLIDARITY USES REVENUE FROM BROADCAST RIGHTS TO DEVELOP ASSISTANCE PROGRAMMES. IN THE FOUR YEARS LEADING UP TO THE BEIJING GAMES THE TOTAL AMOUNT ALLOCATED WAS JUST UNDER A QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS AND EVEN MORE WILL BE ON OFFER IN THE RUN UP TO LONDON 2012" a quarter of a billion dollars and a greater amount will be on offer leading up to London 2012. New initiatives to cover Vancouver 2010 and assistance for the first Youth Olympic Games in Singapore later next year are also on the agenda.

Palau Shop IP& E Palau Sports Fishing Etpison Cup Parents of All Athletes Families of All Athletes Families of All Officials Technical Officials of the Team Coaches for Team Palau All Athletes 2 Message from the President of Palau National Olympic Committee Alii! Since the inception of Palau to be the 200 member of the Olympic Movement in 1999, Palau has strive for excellence through sport. We have hosted 2 Micronesian Games, 1 Mini Pacific Games and 10 Belau National Games. In addition, have participated and send over 1000 athletes abroad to represent Palau in various regional and internation- al sporting events such as the 2002 Micronesian Games in Pohnpei, FSM, 2003 South Pacific Games in Fiji, 2006 Micronesian Games in CNMI, 2007 Pacific Games in Samoa, 2011 Pacific Games in New Caledonia, 2014 Microne- sian Games, and just recently the 2015 Pacific Games in Port Moresby, PNG. Palau has participated in all the Summer Olympic Games since 2000. Palau National Olympic Committee and the respective National Sports Federations would not have been able to achieve these many milestones without the unwavering support of the Palau National Government and the many sponsors and donors, families, coaches, athletes and key individuals who all have continued their committed full support to the nu- merous programs and development of sports in Palau. The 15th Pacific Games sees Palau’s seventh appearance in a competition encompassing the 24 member countries of the Oceania Region including Australia and New Zealand.
