MADAM SPEAKER, WE HAVE CONSULTED WIDELY DURING THE PREPARATION OF THIS BILL. WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH ATHLETES, WITH SPORTS ADMINISTRATORS, WITH THE A.C.T. ACADEMY OF SPORT, WITH ACTSPORT, WITH THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS DRUG AGENCY, AND THROUGH THE MEDIA.

WE HAVE USED THIS CONSULTATION TO GAUGE SUPPORT . FOR. ACTION TO REMOVE THE STIGMA THAT PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS HAVE BROUGHT TO SPORT.

IN CONJUNCTION WITH ASDA ACTSPORT AND .THE . OFFICE OF SPORT AND RECREATION A SPORTS DRUGS EDUCATION OFFICER HAS ALSO RECENTLY BEEN EMPLOYED TO WORK WITH SPORT AND THE GENERAL COMMUNITY TO BRING ABOUT A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED IN PROMOTING HEALTHY AND FAIR SPORTING PRACTICES:

WIDESPREAD SUPPORT FOR THE BILL HAS BEEN RECEIVED. THE ONLY CONCERNS THAT WERE EXPRESSED RELATED TO THE EXTENT TO WHICH AIDA COULD APPLY TS-. POWERS. WE HAVE ADDRESSED THIS BY BEING SPECIFIC IN .OUR DEFINITION OF COMPETITOR. THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF LITTLE MEN IN WHITE -COATS POPPING OUT FROM BEHIND A TREE AT AN UNDER NINE . SOCCER MATCH WITH SPECIMEN BOTTLES AT THE READY.
