DAILY SPORTS NEWS – 2009.03.09 – LE SPORT AU QUOTIDIEN

Some recent, well-publicised, incidents have highlighted important aspects of anti-doping procedure.

The first concerns two Italian footballers, Daniele Mannini and Davide Possanzini, who were each banned for a year by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after they turned up late to a doping control.
http://uk.reuters.com/article/UK_WORLDFOOTBALL/idUKLT73730620090129

The second incident concerns two players from German team TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Following the Bundesliga game between Hoffenheim and VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach on 7 February 2009, both players violated regulations stipulated in the German Football Association (DFB) anti-doping guidelines by not going immediately to the doping control station after the end of the match. The DFB has opened investigations against the two players.
http://www.uefa.com/uefa/keytopics/kind=1/newsid=804248.html

These two cases highlight the importance of players coming directly to the doping control station after the final whistle, as stipulated in our anti-doping regulations. Failure to do so can have very serious consequences.

The news that Portuguese cyclist Joao Cabreira has been banned for two years for using protease to tamper with a doping control sample shows the lengths to which some athletes may go to avoid testing positive. It serves as a timely reminder that DCOs should be extremely attentive when players are giving samples.
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/02/28/sports/CYC-Cabreira-Doping.php

The introduction in January of new regulations that require all samples to reach a suitable specific gravity (S/G) for analysis means that DCOs can be faced with a difficult situation. On the one hand, dehydrated players may need to drink to produce a sample; on the other, if they drink too much, the sample will not meet the S/G requirements. Players whose samples do not meet the suitable S/G will have to give more samples until it is reached. This can take a lot of time and could also result in the DCO running out of Bereg-kits.

Russia and nine other countries should have been excluded from last year?s Olympics in China, as should all of the participants in five disciplines ? but the International Olympic Committee chose to ignore its own charter on doping.

“Sometimes there are powers in the sporting world that are stronger than the rules,” says Denmark's Sports Analysis Institute Director Henrik Brandt.

Strict rules ignored
The Olympic Charter determines that a country which has not implemented the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) codex is barred from sending athletes to the Olympic Games. At the same time, IOC rules determine that a discipline, whose international organization does not follow the same codex, is also barred from taking part.

Rule 44 of the IOC Charter states clearly that: “The World Anti-Doping Code is mandatory for the whole Olympic Movement.”

Rule 46 adds: “The choice of all sports for the programme, as well as the determination of the criteria and conditions for the inclusion of any sport in the programme, falls within the competence of the Session. Only sports that adopt and implement the World Anti-Doping Code can be included or remain in the programme.”

Had the IOC rules been followed, a total of 2,000 athletes would not have been able to take part in the Beijing Olympics.

An as yet unpublished report from WADA shows that five global sporting associaitions and ten countries were allowed to take part, despite the fact that they have not implemented the codex. This means that many athletes were not subjected to the same strict controls as other participating nations.

“It is shameful that the implementation of the WADA codex is going so slowly. The IOC seems to have ignored the fact that so many have not lived up to the codex,” says Danish Sporting Associaition Chairman Niels Nygaard.

Handball, Volleyball, Gymnastics
Had the IOC followed its own rules, some of the larger disciplines such as handball, volleyball and gymnastics would have been excluded. Similarly, countries such as Russia, Bulgaria and North Korea would not have been allowed to send athletes to Beijing. Overall, the 10 countries concerned received 93 medals at the Beijing Olympics.

“In principle there should be sanctions against those who do not fulfill the WADA codex. According to the IOC Charter they cannot take part in the Olympic Games,” says an internationally respected anti-doping expert Dag Vidar Hanstad of the Norwegian Sports College.

IOC: Deadline May
The International Olympic Committee has declined to comment on the issue, apart from a brief written response from its spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau:

“All international associations that have not implemented the codex, have until May to do the necessary and the IOC is certain that they will succeed,” says Moreau.

The IOC, however, knew three months before the Beijing Olympics that the anti-doping rules had been violated. Minutes from a meeting in WADA?s organizing committee in May 2008 show that senior IOC members were presented with a previous report. One set of minutes says that the IOC is aware of the problems. Nonetheless there were no consequences for the countries or disciplines concerned.

WADA says that it is up to the IOC to impose sanctions.

“The IOC was given all the relevant material,” says WADA Spokesman Frédéric Donze.

Exclusion would help
Head of Secretariat at Anti-Doping Denmark Finn Mikkelsen says it is “frustrating” that so many countries and disciplines still have not implemented the WADA codex, but are still allowed to take part in the Olympics.

“The IOC has the ability to impose sanctions and bar someone from the Olympics. If they used their powers, it would work,” says Mikkelsen.

Sports on the verge of anti-doping milestone

The Associated Press

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

PARIS: Some good news is on the horizon in the oft-so-depressing world of doping in sports.

After millions of dollars and countless man-hours of scientific research, a technique to unmask cheats by peering into their blood appears to be on the verge of producing its first doping cases.

This milestone for the so-called 'biological passport' could be reached in the coming weeks or months, most likely in cycling. Successful first use of this technique to sanction cheating riders could help change public perceptions of Lance Armstrong's drug-tainted sport, allowing it to stake a claim as an anti-doping pioneer.

If, as expected, cyclists are banned and, crucially, if these first cases hold up against any legal challenges, then pressure also will mount on other sports to either adopt this new weapon or explain why they aren't doing everything possible to clean up, too.

Make no mistake, the passport is no panacea. Sports won't be rid of cheats overnight. There are indications that some dopers are already learning to navigate the traps laid by testers screening blood, by more carefully managing their drug use and other forms of cheating to hover just below the radar screen.

But, combined with regular drug tests and more effective policing, the program is giving the cats another claw with which to catch the mice. Already, the system appears to be acting as a deterrent, even before the first cheat caught with it is hauled before a disciplinary panel. And for those who don't cheat, being in the program makes their exploits more credible.

Unlike with regular testing, the blood screeners aren't looking for the specific drugs or doping methods that cheats have used. Instead, they search for telltale traces that doping leaves on the body, in athletes' blood.

Illegally enhancing athletic performance with blood transfusions or hormones like EPO, a drug of choice for crooked endurance athletes, throws the body out of whack, skewing blood values. By spotting those abnormalities, scientists believe they can now prove that the athlete must have doped ? even if they don't specifically identify the illegal drug or method that the cheat used. In layman's terms, it is roughly the difference between police catching criminals red-handed and forensic scientists proving crimes by piecing together evidence left at the scene.

If the samples are collected often enough and at the right times, this long-term hematological monitoring of athletes offers the best current hope of catching those who transfuse their own blood, a doping method that is otherwise undetectable using conventional tests and which gives cheats a big boost by increasing the supply of oxygen to their muscles. The program could also expose those who use types of EPO that aren't caught using standard testing.

Because its blood-screening program is farthest along, cycling is likely to reap the reward of claiming the first scalp and shoulder the burden of having to run the first case or cases past a gauntlet of defense lawyers, who will probably try to pick apart the new method and its indirect proof of athletes' guilt. The head of cycling's governing body, Pat McQuaid, told The Associated Press he is confident that his organization, the UCI, will press its first disciplinary proceedings in "days or weeks" ? hopefully before the Tour de France in July. The expected sanction for a first offense is a 2-year ban from competition, although McQuaid says anti-doping rules also allow for fines.

"Before we go forward, before the experts are prepared to commit to saying: 'Yes, we can go forward with that case,' they want to be 100 percent sure. The first case has got to win. The first case has to be 100 percent clear-cut," so it can be sure of triumphing if appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, McQuaid explained.

He hinted that the UCI is taking more samples from riders to ensure that cases against them hold up.

"Even on the ones that the experts have thought are suspicious, we could be doing more profiles on them just to ensure that we are right," he told the AP.

McQuaid won't discuss specifics, or say how many cases will be brought. But blood experts that the UCI has turned to for analysis of the blood-test results say they have identified several cases of apparent doping that they think are clear-cut enough to warrant sanctions. Most of the 9 experts gathered in a hotel in Brussels, Belgium, in November to pore over riders' blood readings and singled out about a half-dozen suspect cases, from about 30-40 presented to them. In a later teleconference, the experts whittled down the batch to 3 cases that they agreed clearly showed doping, a participant in the call and another expert told the AP. McQuaid refused to confirm their account.

Cycling's program currently looks for abnormal readings of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to rest of the body, and of immature red blood cells called reticulocytes. Some of the UCI's experts are perplexed why the cycling body hasn't yet acted on the suspicious cases they have identified.

But the caution reflects the high stakes involved. Professional cycling teams, riders and race organizers have had to foot some of the ?5.3 million ($6.7 million) cost of creating the blood passport program and will be none too happy if the first cases prove a dud. If they fail, the whole blood-screening concept would be hurt, although probably not fatally. That would be bad for sports such as athletics, which this year is starting its own passport program. It would also be more sorry PR for cycling. For years, it has been in the news as much for doping as for sporting exploits. Now it is reveling in the worldwide and largely rosy surge of attention generated by Armstrong's decision to come back to the sport and shoot for an 8th Tour de France crown after 3 years in retirement.

But ultimately, the blood passport could do more than Armstrong to turn cycling's image around.

Britain Finalizes Plans for Anti-Doping Agency

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 8:01 a.m. ET

LONDON (AP) -- Britain finalized plans Wednesday for a national anti-doping agency that will work with law-enforcement bodies to catch drug cheats in the leadup to the 2012 London Olympics.

Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe said the independent agency, to be called ''UK Anti-Doping,'' will begin operations by the end of the year and take over existing testing responsibilities from UK Sport.

He said the new body will be given ''significant new powers'' to crack down on doping networks ahead of the London Games.

''We have learned from the likes of Operation Raw Deal, the BALCO case in the USA and Operation Puerto in Spain that to be truly effective, we need the ability to target the manufacturers, traffickers and suppliers of prohibited substances,'' Sutcliffe said.

Operation Raw Deal was an international investigation that broke up a major steroid-trafficking ring, the BALCO scandal implicated Barry Bonds, Marion Jones and others in organized doping, and Operation Puerto exposed an alleged blood doping network in cycling.

Sutcliffe said Britain has already started to build relations with law enforcement agencies to ensure the new anti-doping body ''will be equipped with the powers and intelligence to stop cheats before they reach the start line.''

The agency will have a budget of $10.2 million in 2010-11.

''We are sending out a clear statement of intent ahead of 2012 that doping in this country will not be tolerated,'' UK Sport chief executive John Steele said.

New UK anti-doping body confirmed
By Matt Slater

Britain's much-delayed drug-testing body will finally be in operation by the end of 2009, Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe has confirmed.

The new national anti-doping agency (Nado) will take on the responsibility for drug testing from UK Sport, the body that also funds elite sport.

The agency, provisionally called UK Anti-Doping, will cost £7.2m a year, a 60% hike on the current testing budget.

"The Nado will build on UK Sport's excellent work," said Sutcliffe.

"But the global fight against doping sport has shifted and the move to a new, stand-alone Nado reflects that change."

As well as continuing UK Sport's "world-leading" athlete education and testing work, Sutcliffe said the new body will be given "significant new powers" to ensure Britain's remains in the forefront of anti-doping efforts in the build-up to London 2012.

These new powers will include a more centralised approach to pursuing doping cases, and much closer links will be sought with law enforcement agencies, particularly Customs and Excise and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca).

"We have learned that to be truly effective we need the ability to target manufacturers, traffickers and suppliers of prohibited substances," added Sutcliffe, who was speaking at an anti-doping conference hosted by UK Sport at Lord's.

Confirmation of a deadline for the Nado, and details of its improved funding, will come as a great relief to all involved in the battle against drugs cheats as fears had been growing that the independent body would not be up-and-running in time for London 2012.

First announced to universal approval in December 2007, the agency was supposed to have opened for business last year but arguments between UK Sport and the Government over start-up costs have stalled the project.

Those up-front costs are believed to have been trimmed from £3m to £1.8m but there are still important issues, such as a name and location for the Nado, to be resolved.

The latter is believed to be the most problematic: the anti-dopers wish to stay in London (close to most of the major stakeholders in British sport, the World Anti-Doping Agency laboratory at King's College, law enforcement agencies and sports law experts) but this runs contrary to current government thinking on moving agencies to cheaper sites outside London.

What is clear, however, is that the separation of UK Sport's elite performance and testing divisions brings Britain in line with established practice in most serious sporting nations and ends any debate over potential conflicts of interest for an agency that both funds and polices British sport.

It should also resolve concerns that Britain had fallen behind the likes of Australia and the US in the way they had moved the anti-doping effort away from simply collecting and analysing urine samples to a more intelligence-led approach that targets serious offenders and suppliers.

UK Sport's chief executive John Steele welcomed the news, saying: "The new Nado marks an exciting chapter in anti-doping in the UK. We are sending out a clear statement of intent that doping in this country will not be tolerated.

"Everyone is in agreement that this is the right thing to do and it was essential we took the time to do it properly.

"I am delighted the funding for the Nado has been confirmed and, in many ways, the real work starts now to get it operational by the end of the year."

But one step the Government and Nado will not be taking is to make doping a criminal offence, as has started to happen elsewhere in Europe, most notably in Italy.

Speaking to Radio 4's Today Programme earlier on Wednesday, Sutcliffe said criminalisation was a "step too far" and the "sporting sanctions were tough enough". The maximum penalty for a serious doping offence has just been doubled from two to four years.

Andy Parkinson, UK Sport's current anti-doping chief and the most likely candidate to head the new Nado, agreed with the minister, adding it was important to "strike a balance" between giving athletes who made a mistake, such as cyclist David Millar, a second chance, and providing a "strong deterrent" for those tempted to cheat.

But that debate looks set to rumble on, particularly if another large drugs scandal breaks before London 2012.
 

CASH BOOST IN BID TO WIN DRUG WAR

By Martyn Ziegler, PA Chief Sports Reporter

A new independent drug-testing body for British sport will be up and running by the end of the year after a 60% funding increase was agreed, sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe has announced.

The new organisation, provisionally titled 'UK Anti-Doping', will take over testing from UK Sport, which will remain the body distributing public funding to elite sport.

The new national anti-doping agency (NADO) will cost 60% more to run - it will cost £7.2million in 2010-11 compared to the current £4.5million budget for UK Sport.

Sutcliffe said the new body would have stronger powers than the current set-up, particularly when it comes to investigating organised doping rings. It will also be established in time to prepare for the London 2012 Olympics.

Speaking at UK Sport's national anti-doping conference at Lord's Cricket Ground, Sutcliffe said: "The global fight against doping in sport has shifted and the move to a new, stand-alone NADO reflects that change.

"The NADO will build on the excellent work of UK Sport which has established us as a world leader in the field.

"We have learnt from the likes of Operation Raw Deal, the BALCO case in the USA and Operation Puerto in Spain that to be truly effective we need the ability to target the manufacturers, traffickers and suppliers of prohibited substances.

"We have already started to build relations with law enforcement agencies through a cross-department working group, ensuring the new NADO will be equipped with the powers and intelligence to stop cheats before they reach the start line."

The BALCO scandal in the USA centred on a company which provided the steroid THG to sports stars as at the time it was not detected by usual testing. Sprinters Dwain Chambers, Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery were among those later banned.

Operation Raw Deal broke up a steroid-trafficking ring in the USA, while Operation Puerto centres on a Spanish doctor accused of administering drugs to up to 200 athletes.

UK Sport chief executive John Steele added: "We are sending out a clear statement of intent ahead of 2012 that doping in this country will not be tolerated."

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) signed an arrangement with Interpol this week to bolster information-sharing and intelligence in the battle against those who traffic or supply performance-enhancing drugs in sport.

WADA has also introduced a stronger new code this year to tighten testing of athletes.

Sports organisers and anti-doping chiefs believe the net is closing on drug cheats and hope to renew the public's confidence in the ability of sport to be clean.

Mr Sutcliffe said: "Anyone who is thinking about it (cheating) will be very stupid indeed.

"It is not just coaches or athletes, but it can also be doctors who are also involved."

Minister announces Anti-Doping Agency date

From UK Sport
Minister for Sport Gerry Sutcliffe confirmed today that plans for a new National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) have been finalised and the new body will open its doors by the end of the year. The new NADO, provisionally titled ‘UK Anti-Doping’, will take on existing testing and education responsibilities from UK Sport, whilst also being granted significant new powers to ensure Britain is best-placed to tackle doping in sport in the run-up to London 2012 and beyond.

Recommendations for the new NADO were first made by UK Sport’s Board in December 2007 in recognition of the need for centralised case management of doping cases and greater links with law enforcement agencies, functions that necessitated the need for separation from UK Sport.

Speaking at UK Sport’s National Anti-Doping Conference at Lord’s Cricket Ground, Gerry Sutcliffe said: “The global fight against doping in sport has shifted and the move to a new, stand-alone NADO reflects that change. The NADO will build on the excellent work of UK Sport which has established us as a world leader in the field.

“We have learnt from the likes of Operation Raw Deal, the BALCO case in the USA and Operation Puerto in Spain that to be truly effective we need the ability to target the manufacturers, traffickers and suppliers of prohibited substances. We have already started to build relations with law enforcement agencies through a Cross-Department Working Group, ensuring the new NADO will be equipped with the powers and intelligence to stop cheats before they reach the start line.”

Following the original announcement, UK Sport developed a detailed Business Plan outlining the operations of the new NADO, the budgets required to deliver existing and new functions, and the process for transition from UK Sport. It has worked closely with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to secure the funding required as, when fully operational, the new NADO will see £7.2 million invested in 2010/11 in anti-doping, a 60% increase on the current £4.5 million budget.

John Steele, Chief Executive of UK Sport, said: “The new NADO marks an exciting new chapter in anti-doping in the UK, and we are sending out a clear statement of intent ahead of 2012 that doping in this country will not be tolerated.

“A phenomenal amount of work has been done over the past year to get us to this point. Everyone is in agreement that this is the right thing to do and it was essential we took the time to ensure we do it properly. I am delighted that the funding for the new NADO has been confirmed and, in many ways, the real hard work starts now to get it operational by the end of the year.

“The priority is to make the transition to the new NADO as smooth as possible and we are committed to ensuring our current testing and education programmes will continue to be delivered to the usual high standards throughout this period. With the talented and dedicated team we have here I have no doubts this will be the case.”
