APKORI Supports Menpora’s Measures Regarding WADA Sanctions

by Ainsley Ingram

Currently, a special team is working to find the root cause of the neglect.

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – President of the Indonesian Association of Sports Teachers (Apkori) Teacher Djoko Scream Irianto said the imposition of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) sanction on the Indonesian Anti-Doping Agency (LADI) was more due to the lack of intensive communication between the two sides.

He gave an example, Mr. President LADI previously Hapmi Sari Ambarukmi, had good communication with WADA. So, he said, even if there are sanctions and so on, usually before sending a letter, WADA will provide news first or at least personally over the phone.

“This intensive communication has happened in the past, so if there are any sanctions, we can certainly prosecute them so that they are not sanctioned. Currently, Indonesia has been sanctioned, this has been proven by not being sanctioned. not beating the Red and Whites in the Thomas Cup, said Prof. Djoko Pekik on Wednesday (20/10).

He continued that in addition to the penalties for not piloting the Rouge et Blanc in several international championships, WADA’s sanctions would also prevent Indonesia from applying to become the organizer of international sports championships.

“These sanctions also prevent Indonesia from participating in international tenders such as motorcycle racing, badminton, etc.,” he said.

According to him, Indonesia’s disobedience in reporting the doping control was the trigger. While LADI himself reasoned, it happened because of the pandemic. He added that the requirements are indeed quite heavy, in one year it is necessary to carry out a doping control of at least three thousand samples.

“For routine regulations, this means that every year LADI has to report anti-doping samples to WADA. Of course, there are minimum rules, and they must be carried out regularly and in an orderly manner.

However, Prof. Djoko thanked Menpora Amali for taking swift action by forming a working group to speed up the revocation. sanksi AMA in Indonesia.

WADA is an organization affiliated with the IOC, then LADI is affiliated with WADA, it’s independent. According to him, what must be considered is that the good intentions of the Minister of Youth and Sports are seen as an intervention to WADA on the part of the Indonesian government.

“My advice, immediately LADI is communicating extensively with WADA if necessary, come directly to the WADA office in Canada to ask directly what the problem is even though we already know, then what solutions need to be made,” he said. he declares.

LADI being proactive towards WADA, he said, that would certainly be a separate note for WADA on how to help resolve sanctions for Indonesia. “The minister’s intentions are good to form a working group, but we fear that the team is seen as a form of intervention with WADA,” he said.

“The aim is to let LADI communicate directly with WADA, facilitated by the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Meanwhile, the Indonesian NOC has no affiliation with WADA. The Indonesian NOC is affiliated with the IOC. Indonesia, so there are two ways, LADI to WADA in Canada and the Indonesian NOC to the IOC, ”he added.

Regarding the international badminton championship in Bali, PB PBSI can also communicate with the BWF to convey the same as the Indonesian NOC did to the IOC. Thus, the lifting of sanctions can be carried out immediately without causing further problems.

“Once again, we appreciate Mr. Menpora who quickly formed an acceleration and investigation team, but our suggestion is that LADI is still the center of attention. leading sector meet with WADA to resolve the issue of sanctions. Hopefully, with intensive communication between LADI and WADA, the main points and problem-solving plans to accelerate the lifting of sanctions can be quickly realized, “he said.
