-doping code and i think water has demonstrated its willingness to enforce the world anti-doping code and the penalties that are found within the world anti-doping code and the other rules that are found within the world anti-doping code i believe water is doing a great job on that as does the institute for national anti-doping organizations so from my perspective water is going to continue to fulfill their mandate and follow the rules that drive the organization and are subject to assessment by the membership of water which is comprised of fifty percent governments and fifty percent the sport movement so no doubt there's lots of pressure on wanted to do the right thing. well the right thing would be bringing mr roach in cause to account for his own actions and not letting him to play a claim the whistle blowing defense is defined simply because he's not just a whistle blower he was somebody who actually contributed and precipitated in that scheme you mentioned before the issue a lot of participation and one of the leading organizations within why that is the . american and she d

and canadian representatives at world. anti-doping agency and each country has its own history and when it comes to still being right and fighting to save the cup which they do seeing these countries are rigid to work with them i mean and they feel it's high time to cease to negotiate some clear and understandable rules that everyone would follow only with sanctions for violations introduced without political bias. so that athletes clearly understand would be as yes they go to court and they will be partners to medical orderly but also. that. it's been a long time coming since the one nine hundred ninety s. well actually everything was more or less fine back when we also had representatives of all those organizations but as i said in the ninety's we're so busy with nation building that we put sports on the back burner and we were no longer represented there but today to put it simply if we sit down at this table today with a couple more people and start making decisions well listen to everyone present and then i'm sure you'll a

a club worth five hundred million euros expresses a position on something the world anti-doping agency has to take notice of and. al-jazeera continues its investigation into the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs in the final episode of sports doping the endless chase at this time. from the clear blue sky of the doha mooney. to the fresh fruits and breeze in the city. and it's been raining heavily again in bolivia and i do mean heavily over two hundred of these reports in thirty hours now this is flash flood territory the line of cloud extends both northwest and southeastern he says a potential risk in southern peru possibly in paraguayan maybe southern brazil this certain looks like the heart of the worry which will continue for the next twenty four hours as i say it does extend for the south was into what is still the hot part of progress as to and since the start of warm south of that and one of the areas where northern argentina is enjoying our spirits some warms as you can see thirty gets even hotter whereas the rain continues they would have to ecuador as well and that

are separated into several tubes and tested for four hundred different chemicals every year the world anti-doping agency publishes the list of prohibited substances and methods the athletes take great care to avoid the banned substances. for a book all are supposed to do would do was it it was a guy who are known as a let's. just forget what do you want us to go for it statistic more than i would predict who will prevent more put in water bottles who can't get to school school or simply. be able to. really go sisulu potential is for the overall samples of the. testing during competition is above all about protecting the reputation and credibility of the athletics event in question these urine tests are supplemented by other checks elite athletes are subjected to testing several times a year either at home or at a hotel tests that the federations normally do not allow to be filmed. oh i was to the downdraft is there she's my college sure how did you get some if not this time it's a blood test. images well let's. make sure it still . was going. to. have. blood testing allows levels of other

yeah yeah and again you have these other conclusions by the world anti-doping agency which cut against. these doping allegations yes so it's of grave concern and if it was not state sponsored then the state in this case russia should not be penalized and banned from the game so i think it's fair of grave concern of the other thing i'd like to know is the other scandal that's not getting the attention it deserves frankly is the massive sexual assault allegations that seem to be true by american gymnast against their coaches apparently that's gone on for years which frankly i think is a lot more serious than doping. and yet we hear little about that there doesn't appear to be any sanctions that are going to follow on from. what's interesting about this stand when you listen to what was said today i mean you know there's this confusion about was it a state sponsored wasn't you know it's gone on for so long but they did say today that the russian sports minister was responsible for the failure of the system. that could be legal and contractual responsibility so they might not pointed the f

global level the fight against doping began fairly recently in one nine hundred ninety nine the world anti-doping agency wada was created water defines doping in legal terms. you have bagged you being out. here for amnesty but if. you support. in two thousand and five one hundred ninety one states signed unesco's international convention against doping in sport and began to harmonize diligence lotions but the world anti-doping agency still has no operational role it is the responsibility of the sports federations to find cheaters and therein lies the main problem. august two thousand and fifteen beijing hosts the fifteenth world athletics championships organized by the i w n the international association of athletics federations since the two thousand and eight olympic games china has excelled at all in izing sporting events for nine days almost one thousand nine hundred athletes from two hundred make countries more watched by six billion television viewers. that's the i.w.a. after organizes the event and sells television rights to broadcasters oddly though they are also responsible for en

convention against doping to take the steps in their country to to fulfill the enforcement of the world anti-doping code and they do that through a variety of means through promoting messages through funding organizations through making available the resources for anti doping activities to be undertaken so i wouldn't be surprised if governments around the world at their highest levels are committing funds to eliminate doping in sport it's the greatest threat to the credibility of sport and the greatest threat to the promise that sport has found within the olympic values well i have all due respect the white house is not a state institution it's a political office which is very partisan by its very nature i'm kind of surprised that you don't see anything noteworthy political office would be. getting money directly to a such a specialized agency would you feel the same way if the kremlin's would have been found wiring money directly to rosado would not set off any red flags while. your knowledge of the internal funding of national governments is obviously much better than mine i think that fro

themselves through doping countries circumvent the international convention against doping in sport the world anti-doping agency's efforts to protect the integrity of sports competitions if doping is unstoppable what will the world of sports look like tomorrow. according to sports experts most records will no longer be able to be beaten starting in two thousand and thirty humankind will reach their physiological limit but some are already dreaming up ways that athletes can improve further through biotechnology and prostheses restorer do it that bad example because you want to do that cul de sac of his gawky go to medical science at the imperial already made cheek. plywood then it will be shorter all said your pleasure there was it take ski for him would you ship bob or a little dog from korea or revision if at the tours it is used today are because it is. for his their shock gen sippers your boss with it all it's called missions of value if he screws it or strategically they are busy devoting your every given order all the way up of the hood as president of the us. i'm all for the addition is one

it wasn't until nine hundred ninety nine that the world anti-doping agency was created. today wada updates its prohibited substances list annually pharmaceutical companies and then turn promote their products within this list lobbyist's vita shut out the competition this is a market with a turnover of tens of millions of dollars. there's barely a major international competition that passes without a doping scandal at the same time the anti doping system itself is mushrooms and is constantly in need of financial injections again. we need a massive financial infusion into this endevor if we really believe that you know the greatest threat to sport is doping. and did wonders to be strengthened in its rule critters funding is needed in the agency's current thirty million budget we're going to ask you one question you. think the world anti doping agency rejects any criticism it is focused on promoting its public image trying to convince the world it's indispensable to do provides a foundation for the world of sports. i know that within the team while i was writing it was very

however, the world anti—doping agency now has evidence.y client, they've obtained the entire laboratory information management system, that shows thousands and thousands of dirty tests. these were all hidden within the database. but wada has now recovered them. and, if russia continues its intransigence, my guess is that wada will simply double down, and trace every single one of those dirty tests. and, if it shows that there were athletes that benefited from the doping system, in osaka, or beijing, or vancouver, or other games, that those athletes will also be stripped. the bomber who attacked the manchester arena, killing 22 people, had been a subject of interest to the british security services, and opportunities to stop him were missed. that is the conclusion of an official review. it says it is conceivable the attack by salman abedi could have been avoided. after the manchester bombing, and three terror attacks in london this year, uk counter—terror police and security services conducted their own reviews, as our security corresponden

the world anti—doping agency really now has two different parts. happens and co—operate fully, they may be convinced to draw a line under it and move forward with reform. however the world anti—doping agency now has evidence, apart from my client, they have obtained the entire laboratory information management system that shows thousands and thousands of dirty tests. these were all hidden within the database. tests. these were all hidden within the data base. wada tests. these were all hidden within the database. wada has now recovered them. if russia continues its intransigence, my guess is that wada will simply double down and trace every single one of those dirty tests a nd every single one of those dirty tests and if it shows there were athletes that benefited from the doping system, in beijing, vancouver, other games, that those athletes will also be stripped. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having me. the bomber who attacked the manchester arena killing 22

domestically it's vetted internationally and it must be ultimately approved and signed off by the world anti-doping agency and by the international sports federation that the athlete participates in and it's and it's true i think that globally different medical issues present themselves at different rates and the medical systems respond to those things differently in those countries. i remain very convinced that the rules around therapeutic use exemption and the oversight that goes along with those things. are appropriate there and forced and very clearly the athletes that are enabled to use those medications may only use them to the level of returning to normal health which means that the dosage is the dosage is watched very carefully the nature of the drug that's watched is is particularly important and often times the committees that make those decisions advocate the use of other medications that may not provide those those same performance enhancing benefits that you that you have are describing here so with all of those safeguards in place i think it's more appropriate to allow athletes

after the world anti-doping agency laid out a road map for russia in twenty sixteen the country acted swiftly with a number of strong measures it did reform the structure of russia's own anti drugs agency and allowed international experts to take control of its tests is also made doping a criminal offense punishable with a jail sentence a law only currently imposed by a handful of european countries decider met eighteen out of twenty criteria saying it couldn't meet the final two as it does deny any government run doping program ever existed but last month while still found the russian agency non-compliant the head of water denied this isn't was political but did say sport cannot exist without politics. it's the sort of. impossible dream isn't it because it fits realistic to. a sport which is structured it would have an old boy that such comments may be at odds with perhaps the most important document in sport the olympic charter it clearly states that there can be no political or commercial abuse of sport and athletes attorney in the valley lonely believes the entire story of alleged

been pushing to keep russia out of the olympics meanwhile you know just a couple months ago the world anti-doping agency actually had some good things to say about russia said they were you know trying to take steps to make sure that their program was clean and in the end the world anti-doping agency said that they found no evidence of state sponsorship of doping and also no evidence that ninety five of the ninety six athletes who were you know alleged to have doped they found no age evidence that they actually had so. obviously this is politicized and again this is only going to increase tensions between the united states and russia which i believe is not good for anyone. done kovel a human. rights lawyer appreciate it. thank you ok away from but to other news today the leaders of muslim nations are calling on the international community to recognize east jerusalem as the palestinian capital but yesterday there was a shot of islamic cooperation met in response to the u.s. presidents have moved to recognize the ancient city as israel's capital. the u.s. decision on your russo them because
