    "content": "competes in another country that is where the taxes should be paid. It should not be double payment of taxation. A person cannot pay taxes inside and outside the country. I do not know when this changed, but it is not fair. When the Bill is amended, it will make sure that the composition of the Therapeutical Use Exemption Committee shows point of interests. If a person has a conflict of interest, it should come out clearly. In case there is need for any athlete to use any substance due to medical condition, it should be taken into account. This is because an athlete may take some of the substances not to enhance his or her performance but for medical reasons. Mr. Speaker, Sir, testing should be done in a credible laboratory and it should be as a matter of privacy. It should not go public. So, there must be a recognized agency both locally and internationally where we should do any form of testing. It should be a matter of urgency. The language should also be gender sensitive and neutral. The Bill proposes to bestow the tribunal with the jurisdiction to hear and determine cases of anti-doping rules and violations on national and lower-level athletes and the support personnel. This has already been mentioned by some of our colleagues. Most of our athletes are very young people; some of them become athletes even before they leave school. By the time they get into active athletics, they are still very young. We have seen many agents taking advantage of the young. Therefore, there must be a way of protecting them."
