These Are The Important Points Revealed By KOI In The Coordination Meeting For The Acceleration Of The Settlement Of WADA Sanctions

JAKARTA - A coordination meeting to accelerate the settlement of sanctions given by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to Indonesia was held virtually on Thursday. There are several important points conveyed by the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI).

In a statement received by VOI, Friday, it was stated that KOI is currently coordinating with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and WADA to obtain clarity on Indonesia's status as the host of international events.

It is known, many events have been given to Indonesia long before WADA imposed sanctions.

In badminton, for example, three events will be held, namely the Indonesia Masters on November 16-21, the Indonesia Open (November 23-28), and the BWF World Tour Finals (December 1-5).

Then, KOI will also ask for clarification regarding the technical specifications for the brand of doping sample kit used.

Is the doping sample kit only for certain brands like Berlinger? Or it is allowed for other brands, such as LOCKCON and Versapak.

According to KOI, this is very important in order to make it easier for sports federations to adjust technical specifications that meet Qatar's Anti-Doping Lab (ADL) inspection standards.

The meeting was chaired by the Secretary of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and attended by a number of parties, including representatives of the Indonesian Anti-Doping Agency (LADI), the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu), the Central Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI), and the National Paralympic Committee (NPC).

This internal meeting is a preparation for a meeting with WADA which is planned to take place next November.
