"Question No 25 by Athanasios Pafilis ()
The use of anabolic substances by athletes (doping) at the Olympic Games in Athens has proved to be a problem of deeply dismaying proportions.
The commercialisation of sport, the transformation of the Olympic Games into an arena giving free rein to multinational sponsors and the multinational drug companies which manufacture the substances in question, the fact that the multinationals are left to create Olympic records and the current profile of the super-athlete, together with the alienation of sport from contemporary needs for sport as a popular, inclusive activity are fundamental factors in the spawning and proliferation of this serious problem.
What practical measures will the Commission take to deal radically with the problem of doping, its causes and the associated racketeers in order to develop and promote sport as a popular and inclusive activity for all?"@en1
