Thank you.
It's important to understand that in sports, everything happens quickly. Competitions represent points, and points are what lead to being selected for training camps, the national team or even international competitions. They are what makes it possible to reach a classification and move up through the ranks to the very top. Without these points, there's no advancement.
In this process, which looks simple, here's what complicates things:
Athletes who refuse to sign the contract submitted to them can't take part in competitions and don't get any points. The timelines are also short. It can be only a few weeks or even days ahead when you're selected to take part in a competition where points can be earned. The current whistle-blowing mechanisms take months.
So I ask you: if you were in our position, would you blow the whistle on anyone?
Then there's the matter of points and selection. It may look simple from the outside, but everything is governed by often exhaustive and malleable documentation from the federations. In connection with this, I would ask that we table the document I sent to the clerk yesterday evening.
