Brussels, 28/11/2001 (Agence Europe) - Commissioner Viviane Reding met, on Wednesday in Brussels, the Norwegian Olympic champion for high speed ice-skating, Johann Koss, who is a member of the International Olympics Committee and the Board of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WAA). The meeting was aimed at examining the form that the future "athlete's passport" should take, the result of a joint project by the European Commission and the WAA. A Community contribution of EUR 300,000 was foreseen in the context of the three pilot projects for an overall amount of EUR 2 million that the Commission agreed to co-fund pending a solution to the tricky problem of EU representativeness at the WAA Board. A meeting of the latter will be held next week but nothing today allows one to imagine that the conditions posed by the Commission to WAA financing from the Community budget will be met on this occasion. The meeting between Ms Reding and Mr Koss nonetheless proves that collaboration is continuing. The future passport should contain information on the health of the athlete and the competitions attended by the athlete, but also provide information on doping and access to a network of specialised doctors likely to advise the sportsperson in order to contribute to anti-doping action. A first project for a passport should be presented to the press during the Winter Olympics in February at Salt Lake City.
