WHAT REAL SPORT FOLLOWERS REALLY WANT ?


This article wants to draw attention to what Sport Followers seek when serious problems arise in any given Sport.  They want,  

-  No Controversy

-  Just + Clear Decisions and Explanations.

-  Use of the best Advanced Technology.

-  Clear Rules on Drug Usage but also DRUG ABUSE ! 


To define these aims and wishes another way, no Sport   really wants hesitation by Amateur Administrators, who often seek to protect personal "glory" !

The last observation implies that Administrators should be "democratically" elected, and then re-elected, not just continued "in office" ! Their total possible terms in office should always be limited in time.

The biggest problem is the definition of Drug Use and Drug Abuse in each and every sport.  When can the same Drug be legally used to cure yet not be used simply to enhance performances ?  A medical definition must be sought. 

Each and every Sport could have varying reasons and reactions as to how the word "usage" should be defined.  

Another on-going problem concerns the scandals which have surfaced these last few days in the USA, Turkey, and other countries like the old East German State.  It seems clear that drugs were used and Olympic Medals were "won". Is it really too late to inflict any punishment ?

The real basic problem is still with us to-day.  If a "World Sports Body" is not created with the power to severely punish "Cheats" at "all levels" nothing will ever change.

A "National" punishment of "Cheats" is "eyewash" - too often too political to be independent and acceptable !  

A World Organisation, a supra National Organisation adhered to by all countries which enter Sportspeople habitually in all the leading sports compétitions,  needs to be created.  Such an Organisation would need a specialised Court of judgement with powers to punish not only athletes but also trainers, organisers, etc, etc.  Agents and anyone connected with Sport must become aware of the fact  that aiding and abetting Cheats is a crime and that there are Sanctions which can be applied !

However, where can one go to get the ball rolling to set up such a Supra National Organisation ?  Can you help ?
