  1. WORKSHOP 1 DOPING

  2. Statement The European Elite Athletes Association stands for a clean competition. Testing and sanctions are an important deterrent against doping in sport.

  3. Legal basis Anti-doping policies should respect athletes constitutional, human and employee rights. Principles of criminal law should apply.

  4. Privacy Athletes who have year round training or competition schedules should be tested after training at the training facility but not at home. Their federation should be responsible for submitting their training and competition schedule and location to the doping authority. The private schedule of the athlete should not be required or given.

  5. Representation The EEAA finds the WADA Athletes Commission a commendable effort to include athletes in the process but would recommend that athletes associations, as truly representative bodies, also be included.

  6. Difference between team sport and individual sport Team sport athletes who have been suspended for a doping offense should be allowed to train with their team.

  7. Collective Bargaining/Social Dialogue Doping is a collective bargaining/social dialogue issue

  8. “Recreational” Drugs Substances, such as cannabis, that are not performance enhancing should not fall under anti doping rules but be addressed as criminal or labor issues.

  9. Scheduling The scheduling of competitions and training by leagues and federations must be coordinated to provide for adequate rest and rehabilitation to avoid doping violations as a result of overwork and chronic injury.

  10. Education The members of the EEAA would like to develop and participate in an anti doping educational program with WADA.

  11. The language of WAR Doping is a social problem and the language of war should be mitigated. Studies on the social reasons for doping should be included and rehabilitation should be part of the program for convicted dopers.

  12. The principle of proportion WADA is to be commended for recognizing the principle of proportion and allowing for a warning in some cases.

  13. Doping Passports or databases of medical information All information must be kept secure and any party responsible for “leaking” information must be punished.

  14. Other issues? …end?
