Unit 10, exercise 19a Student A http://www.sportnews-stories.com Sport Front Page Irish Olympian defends drug exemptions Imagine you are a hockey player and have been told you have cancer. Your doctor says that with treatment you have a good chance of surviving. But the drugs required are on the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) list. If you take them, you will test positive. In such cases, athletes can seek a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). When marathon runner Paul Pollock broke a bone in his foot that required a steroid injection to help recovery, he received a TUE. In Rio he produced a strong finish over the 26 miles, moving up 64 places over the second half of the race. The TUEs are, he says, useful. But their use has been questioned. “With any system in place it is open to interpretation and open to corruption. But you definitely have to have a system in place,” says Pollock. “There are cases when you do get injured and when you do need to take certain banned substances. You want to declare that. You want to be open and honest and that’s where the TUEs comes into it.” “In the public eye there is a view of all these TUEs [that] athletes are taking advantage of them … [that] there’s doping. I think a lot more work needs to be done to convince the public that the performances they are viewing are genuine. At the minute that is obviously not the case.” Football Cricket Rugby Union Rugby League Tennis Golf Motorsport Boxing Athletics Other Sports Special Events Sports Talk Unit 9, exercise 31a Group B http://www.photocourse.com Photography courses •• learn how to get the most from your digital camera •• learn how to adjust, edit and improve your photos •• we’ll help to turn good photographs into great ones •• one-day courses from €90, including field trips with transport provided •• no more than ten students per tutor •• use professional software on our ipads (or bring your own laptop or tablet computer) •• work in our perfectly equipped studio •• professional and passionate photographers to teach you all the skills you need •• never have a fuzzy picture again •• never have ‘red-eye’ flash photographs •• learn how moving just centimetres can turn ‘dull’ into ‘drama’ •• learn why moving yourself is better than moving your subject •• learn about the most modern photo design software 167 A Activities Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
