The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games represent the greatest crusade against doping in the history of world sport. The organization enlists an arsenal of 4,500 tests, including 1,300 that were made before the next planetary event on August 8.
To undertake this struggle the International Olympic Committee has its own operational arm: the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), founded at the end of the previous decade, which is responsible for updating the list of prohibited substances, to certify laboratories and define punishment . Strict monitoring will begin next July 27, two weeks after the inauguration.
The Organizing Committee enabled control centres in 41 stadiums, the Olympic village and clinics near the sites of competition.
There will be three daily shifts of work, to cover 24 hours a day. The security measures are extreme: the samples will travel in armored trucks, as if they were freshly collected money from an ATM.
Athletes must be available to undergo tests at any time, as has been done in other editions.
The Costa Rican Claudia Poll he took a sample just arrived at Sydney airport, in the Games of 2000, and then another when he entered the Olympic village, as he recalled the doctor Gerardo Murillo Cuza. In fact, there is no prohibition to take samples to a single athlete twice a day, or days, or one hour before competing.
For WADA, the athletes should receive the message that appears at any time a medical team in front of the hotel or at the end of training. Apart from these tests when random checks will also fixed the first five of each test and two more to be selected at random.
The International Olympic Committee asked for further collaboration with the Chinese authorities to allow the police to identify and prosecute smugglers of banned substances. It is the same method used by the Tour de France: criminalise those responsible for doping, to instill fear and expose them to a public embarrassment. The operation will continue until August 24, the last day of the final and closing ceremony, thus giving the respective shows could be the last thing some athletes do before leaving China to their country of origin. Strong increase. More than 4,000 tests mean an increase of 24 per cent compared to 3,660 checks in Athens 2004. But this time the IOC and WADA introduced a new rule: athletes who are caught in the doping network also will be outside the London 2012 Games.
The samples will be stored for eight years, during which it will be possible to re-analyze them to detect any new substances to be included in the list vetoed. If any athlete is positive in this period will lose the medals you have earned and will receive the same punishment as if it had been dopado the previous day.
Already the American Marion Jones lived in meat itself retroactivity issue of doping, because it ran out of the five prisoners gathered in Sydney, after admitting that ran not clean. The fight against doping is a truism in the world of Olympism, rocked by scandals since the case of Ben Johnson hit the world in the event of Seoul 88. "We are at the forefront of efforts to eradicate doping from sport," said the IOC president, Jacques Rogge. After his diagnosis qualified on the topic: "Most athletes compete openly and fairly."
