>>> Inhalt Dossier Reform Antidoping
Die Inhalte dieses Dossiers sind gedacht als Plädoyers für vielfältige und transparente Diskussionen möglicher Reformen des weltweiten Anti-Doping-Systems
Als übergeordneter Leitfaden der Diskussion um die Entwicklung des Anti-Dopings weltweit könnte, besser sollte die Wahrung der Menschenrechte dienen.
Die folgende Studie kann Grundlage sein:
Anti-Doping und Menschenrechte:
In dieser Studie werden die wichtige Kritikpunkte des weltweiten Anti-Doping-Systems aufgegriffen und Vorschläge empfohlen, die unter Wahrung der international geltenden Menschenrechte helfen, für die betroffenen Personen, insbesondere Athlet*innen, ein gerechtes Anti-Doping-System zu etablieren.
Stellungnahme der WADA hierzu:
Public Policy Statement on Human Rights and Anti-Doping
Die Ausführungen der Studie betreffen letztlich alle in diesem Dossier zitierten Kritikpunkte zu dem bestehenden Anti-Dopingsystem und gehen noch darüber hinaus.
Chapter III: Understanding WADA’s role
From a reactive approach to a proactive one: the role of humanrights
To understand its role and its relationship to human rights it is important to remember that WADA’s birth and its history have been marked by a series of reactions to doping scandals, from the Festina affair to the Russian storm and the Lance Armstrong case, for example. Its stakeholders and the public rightly demanded urgent and effective action in each of these situations. Although this is a common pattern in the evolution of organisations and systems –which often are reactive, addressing issues as they arise – this has strongly shaped WADA’s mission, legal standards, and its methodologies. It is thus very important to underline that the request for this report, the Initial Human Rights Impact Assessment, was not driven by a response to any immediate scandal but was a request from the then Athlete Committee. This will hopefully prove to be a compelling argument for a proactive approach, one that goes beyond crisis management. By shifting the spotlight towards the main players of the system – namely, the athletes and their human rights – WADA and its stakeholders demonstrate an important change from a reactive to aproactive approach.
Chapter V: Recommendations
Despite their extraordinary physical abilities and the unique demands placed upon them, athletes share the same “ordinary” fundamental rights as any other individual. Theyexperience emotions, physical limitations, and have a strong need for well-being and fairness. In times of glory, they receive a lot of attention and recognition, but while in need or peril, they should not be left without support. The contribution athletes make, including revenues they generate, in their country, sport federation, or club, both on and off the field, should be valued. Therefore, their rights, well-being, and fair treatment should be protected by their governments and respected by their sport – and not only recognized but also prioritised in the fight for clean sport.
The following recommendations are divided into three categories representing different timeframes for implementation: Immediate – requiring prompt action; Mid-term – calling for attention within a limited timeframe; and Long-term – focusing on strategic goals for the future.
