"In order to fight doping, violence in stadiums, match fixing and shady deals by sports agents, we need more coordinated action at European level. The entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon has led to a revolution in sport, because for the first time, it has created a legal basis specifically for this sector. Today, through the adoption of this report, Parliament is asking that fans who are known to be violent or who engage in discriminatory behaviour be banned from all European stadiums. A proper Europe-wide database will be used by the national authorities to ensure that these bans are also in force for international matches. The Member States and the sports federations must also commit to adopting more decisive policies against racism and homophobia against athletes. The final text also suggests that trafficking in illegal performance-enhancing substances should be treated in the same way as trafficking in illegal drugs. I must point out that the final document asks for the EU to identify and eliminate all obstacles likely to prevent girls and women from doing sports. Better representation of women in sports federations could help to promote female participation in sport."@en1
