Sports bodies must return to “the pure joy of competition”
03/11/2016
In recent comments to a US journal, ICSS chief executive, Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, said a new alliance launched earlier this year to promote integrity in sport will help create “a framework for reform”.
More than 70 organisations across the world have now signed up to an initiative called the Sport Integrity Global Alliance (SIGA), which ICSS launched in Madrid in April 2016. Mr Medeiros said at the time of the launch that SIGA is committed to achieving “the highest levels of integrity, transparency and accountability in sport”.
More recently, he described the alliance as a starting point for returning sport to an era in which clubs, leagues and associations “relished the pure joy of the competition”. He said it is important to make sure “the rules mean something so that the games, and athletes’ accomplishments, mean something”.
