00:00 Some Filipino athletes are worried about the possibility of being banned from the Philippines

00:04 for participating in a sports event like the Olympics.

00:08 Because of the lack of follow-up from the Philippines,

00:11 they were contacted by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

00:14 The Philippine Sports Commission explained in the interview with Oscar Oida.

00:18 The most awaited Olympic qualifying tournament is the weightlifter,

00:27 Vanessa Sarno.

00:29 She only needs to score a few points

00:32 to be included in the list of additional Filipino athletes

00:36 for 2024 Paris Olympics.

00:38 At the end of March, she will compete in Phuket, Thailand

00:42 to secure a spot in the Olympics.

00:45 That's why she's alarmed by the news

00:48 that it's possible for the Philippines to be banned

00:51 from the main sporting events like the Olympics and Asian Games.

00:55 This is because of the lack of follow-up from the Philippines

00:59 to the words of the World Anti-Doping Agency or WADA,

01:03 which is the agency of the International Olympic Committee.

01:07 It's a waste if you can't play the Olympics.

01:10 It's only been six months.

01:13 My coach told me that I shouldn't worry about it.

01:17 Our Asian Games jujitsu gold medalist is Ani Ramirez,

01:21 who is praying that the ban will not continue.

01:25 I hope that the WADA will be fine

01:29 and that the agency will be able to provide

01:34 the necessary sanctions

01:38 to prevent the WADA from continuing in the Philippines.

01:44 According to the Philippine Sports Commission or PSC,

01:47 some of the most wanted by the WADA

01:50 are the capabilities of the Philippine National Anti-Doping Organization or FINADO,

01:54 which facilitates the necessary anti-doping tests.

01:58 Right now, we only have one planteer position in FINADO,

02:02 and one which is consultant, and then two COS.

02:07 FINADO asked for 48 million for this year,

02:11 and we only received 10 million.

02:13 On the testing alone, we already have 12 to 14 million.

02:17 So if you can say, it's a lot.

02:18 At the moment, they are doing the necessary steps

02:22 to follow the WADA's instructions.

02:25 Everything is being clarified.

02:26 We are talking with WADA every week.

02:28 We have meetings with WADA.

02:30 And together with PSC and POC, we usually meet them.

02:34 At the moment, PSC is already consulting with various agencies,

02:39 even Malacanang, to address the budget shortfall.

02:43 PSC is also confirming that our campaigns

02:48 in international competitions such as the Olympics will not be postponed.

02:51 It's still business as usual for WADA athletes.

02:54 From now until June, those who are qualifying for Olympics,

02:59 they will still continue.

03:00 And then for the sports associations who are holding

03:06 international or world competitions, for now, nothing is jeopardized.

03:11 For GM Integrated News,

03:13 Oscar Oida,

03:14 for Tutok,

03:15 24 hours.
