lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I entirely agree with Parliament. The only way to combat doping is through zero tolerance. In order to save sport, to save sportspeople, to save the values of our European society, we must join forces. Combating doping, Mr President, is a question of will, a will which is enshrined in action agreed between the Member States, Sport Federations and the European Union. Together, with Parliament, we have already come a long way in terms of effectiveness and I believe that the Athens games were a fine example of this, since, during those games, more cases of doping were detected than during all the previous games put together. This is a sign that testing is starting to work. It is only the beginning, however, and we must continue this action while we await more powers and more possibilities as a result of the new treaty. We have a duty to protect our young people, to protect professional and amateur sportspeople and to protect public health, and in this regard, I would like to emphasise that all the honourable Members who have talked about laboratories, labelling, testing and prevention are absolutely right. Now, Mr President, my successor, Mr Figel, will await this initiative from Parliament, this hearing, which will be welcome because, after all, we have a joint responsibility towards sport, towards our citizens, our values, and only by working together can we put that responsibility into practice."@en1
