[hide]The state runs sport as a service, like water or the tram. One office owns the clubs, the coaches, the licence, and the drug test.
The office [edit]
| Body | Size | Task |
|---|---|---|
| The State Sports Council | 9 members | The policy and the money |
| The Sports Administration | 60 staff | The clubs, the calendar, the licence |
| The medical commission | 5 doctors | The fitness paper and the test |
| The club | A plant, a school, the garrison | The ground, the coach, the wage |
A plant club costs the plant 40,000 leva a year. A good runner keeps a nominal job at 120 leva a month.
The council answers to the ministry that owns the copper plants. Sport is a budget line, not a company.
The list [edit]
The medical commission writes the doping list. The 1976 list has 22 substances in 4 classes.
| Class | Number | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Stimulant amines | 7 | Amphetamine, and 6 named amines |
| Narcotic painkillers | 5 | Morphine and 4 named drugs |
| Anabolic hormones | 6 | Testosterone, added in 1976 |
| Diuretics | 4 | A drug that hides water |
The list names each substance. A substance that is not named is not on the list. See Zharka and Zharkine.
|
Warning:
|
The two minutes on the herb
The commission debated the herb twice, in 1979 and in 1982. The minutes give 2 reasons to leave it out. The herb is food. A ban would test every citizen at every meal.
|
The test [edit]
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Place | One room at the Zaligrad hospital |
| Staff | 2 technicians |
| Method | A thin-layer plate in 1976. A gas chromatograph arrives in 1982 |
| Capacity | 60 samples a day, a result in 4 days |
| Cost | 30 leva a sample |
| Test outside an event | None. The rule tests at an event only |
| Second laboratory | None |
A sample has an A bottle and a B bottle. The A bottle goes to the plate. The B bottle stays in the council store.
The chain [edit]
The rule has 4 steps. Each step belongs to the same office.
- The club doctor takes the sample.
- The club doctor carries the sample to the hospital.
- The council officer signs the form.
- The council keeps the B bottle.
The chain has 3 weak points. The taker, the carrier, and the signature.
A sample loses strength in 2 hours at 30 °C. Nobody counts the hours.
The guest [edit]
A guest enters through the Sports Administration. The administration gives the guest a licence for the event.
The council tests a guest only when the guest federation asks for a test in writing.
A guest federation asks for a test on its own team. A guest federation does not ask for a test on a rival.
The 5 routes [edit]
The ministry reads the control system as a list of routes. Each route is a rule that one person can use.
| Route | How it works |
|---|---|
| The list | The office that picks the team also writes the list |
| The paper | A state clinic writes a prescription, and the drug becomes medicine |
| The delay | A sample carried by hand loses strength, and no rule counts the hours |
| The host | A positive case costs the state its name, so the council reads a case first |
| The trade | The state sells the concentrate abroad and bans the spoon at home |
|
Notice:
|
The order of a case
A protest goes to the council. The council sends the case to the medical commission. The commission sends the case to the ministry. The rule gives the council 30 days. In 30 days the event is over.
|
The public position [edit]
The state says 2 things and it says them in this order.
- The pie is the food of the people. A Moravskan eats it from the age of 3.
- The concentrate is not sport. A runner who takes the concentrate cheats the hill.
The phrase in the newspapers is ne e hrana na atleta: "it is not the food of an athlete".
The majority of the people accept the phrase. A runner who takes the concentrate keeps the prize and loses the crowd.
|
Notice:
|
Crowd line
"The cup goes over the border. The name stays on the shore." — said at the finish, about a runner without the crowd.
|
Football and the same rule [edit]
A plant football team plays 22 matches a season. The football club has the strongest reason to hide a case.
A football match sells 12,000 tickets. A positive case empties the ground for a month. See The Kervan Race and Leisure and Games.
Other notes [edit]
- Political System — the ministry above the council
- Prestizh and the Black Market — the hard-currency trade
- Dissent and Control — what the state permits
