Berlin, July 21, 2020.<\/strong> Athleten Deutschland e.V. welcomes the latest progress and successes achieved in the planning of the postponed Olympic Games. We recognize the complexity of the planning process in the midst of the pandemic, but we expect the IOC and the IOC Athletes’ Commission to provide more consistent and better communication on the current status of planning. The IOC must provide more information about potential scenarios and, above all, ensure more participation and involvement of the athletes in further decisions. Athletes want to be part of the solution and not just obtain information from occasional telephone conferences and press reports.<\/p>\n

For this reason, we repeat our\u00a0requests, which were already presented in the telephone conference of the IOC Athletes’ Commission at the end of March in cooperation with the DOSB Athletes’ Commission and athletes’ representatives from other countries: The Olympic Games must not endanger public health and must guarantee the health and safety of athletes. Adequate training conditions and qualification procedures must be\u00a0put in place\u00a0for\u00a0everyone\u00a0in the run-up to the Games. The anti-doping system must be intact.<\/p>\n

We expect the IOC Athletes’ Commission and the IOC leadership to respect and fully implement the following principles:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Inclusiveness<\/strong>
\nIn the further process, genuine participation for athletes and their representatives must be ensured. Decisions that directly or indirectly affect them must be based on their feedback. Independent athlete\u00a0groups\u00a0representing Olympic athletes\u00a0must also be equally involved.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Transparency<\/strong>
\nAll feedback must be visible and can be made public.\u202fIf feedback is rejected or not\u00a0taken into account,\u00a0justification\u00a0must be\u00a0provided.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Accountability<\/strong>
\nThe IOC Executive Committee and the\u00a0taskforce\u00a0must commit themselves to implementing the athletes\u2019\u00a0feedback\u00a0and these principles.\u00a0They\u00a0must\u00a0then report\u00a0transparently\u00a0on how\u00a0this input is\u00a0reflected in\u00a0the\u00a0decision-making\u00a0and\u00a0scenario planning.<\/p>\n

Maximilian Klein, Representative for International Sports Policy:\u00a0“It is through honoring these principles that the athletes\u2019 voice\u00a0can be heard effectively\u00a0and\u00a0trust in the IOC\u2019s commitment to genuine athlete involvement can be developed.\u00a0These general requirements\u00a0do not only apply to the postponement of the Olympic Games,\u00a0they must also be implemented in the\u00a0announced participatory\u00a0processes\u00a0for Rules 40 and 50 of the Olympic Charter.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
