    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a Bill which, as it is clearly stated in the in the preamble and Clause Four, is to give effect to the Anti-doping court and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Convention (UNESCO) against doping in sports. Therefore, I take it as given that most of the clauses which are in this Bill are those that have been really debated at the international level and which the member states are under obligation to give effect to. However, as much as we domesticate the international standards, one must also take into account the local situation. To me, this Bill has not addressed the issue of prevention in terms of what the Senate Minority Leader stated; agents who come from overseas. I am sure that it is the agents who come from overseas with their motives for profit that have caused our young people to turn to the doping drugs unwittingly. Most of our athletes are people who have just finished primary school. Some of them enter into this field bare foot. They are not exposed. Therefore, we have this hoax that comes in from outside and takes advantage of the natural talent of our youth. They are naïve and, therefore, are introduced to this scene by international agents."
