lpv:translated text	"The situation with the measures referred to have got worse rather than better, because it is precisely the commercialisation of sport which is the real cause of the huge problem of doping. When a sports team is a business, the team itself and its sponsors set increasing profits as their objective and, consequently, every sacrifice and every victory won at all costs by the athlete is a means of maximising profits. In addition, commercialisation alters the real nature of sport and the existence of the 'professional athlete' poisons and undermines every moral basis for amateur sport. Sport is a public and social commodity and cannot enter into the rationale of private profit. I should therefore like to ask you if you intend to take measures to make sport a truly social commodity and ensure it remains outside the rationale of profit and sponsorship. Are you willing to cut the umbilical cord between sport and professional activity? That is the question."@en1
