00:00 The Philippine Sports Commission has promised that the training of Filipino athletes who will compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics will not be wasted.

00:10 In the midst of the possibility that the Philippines will be banned from participating in large sporting events due to the lack of compliance with anti-doping rules,

00:19 My report, Oscar Oida.

00:24 Vanessa Sarno, who was assigned to a tournament after March, has already started her training.

00:31 If she can get enough points, she will be able to enter the 2024 Paris Olympics.

00:37 I will just maintain my top 5 in the ranking.

00:40 But Vanessa's Olympic dream and that of other Filipino athletes,

00:44 It is possible that the Philippines will be banned if it is forfeited.

00:48 Because of the lack of compliance with the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency or WADA,

00:55 the agency recognized by the International Olympic Committee.

00:59 Asian Games Jiu-Jitsu Gold Medalist, Ani Ramirez, hopes that the ban will not be continued.

01:07 I hope that it will be approved so that the possible sanction that WADA will give to the Philippines will not happen or continue.

01:17 According to the Philippine Sports Commission, some of the WADA's targets are the ability of the Philippine National Anti-Doping Organization to facilitate the necessary anti-doping tests.

01:30 They're comparing us to the other countries, okay, which have like 22 plantilia positions.

01:36 We only have one plantilia position in Finado and one which is consultant and then two COS.

01:45 They're also comparing us to funding.

01:48 We asked for 48. Finado asked for 48 million for this year and we only received 10 million.

01:56 On the testing alone, we already have 12 to 14 million.

02:00 So if you can say, it's not enough.

02:02 Everything is being clarified. We are talking with WADA every week and together with PSC and POC, we usually meet them.

02:10 For now, PSC is already negotiating with various agencies, even in Malacanang, to address the budget shortfall.

02:19 PSC is also saying that our campaigns will not be able to qualify for international competitions like the Olympics.

02:28 It's still business as usual for all the athletes. From now until June, those who are qualifying for the Olympics, nothing is jeopardized.

02:37 I hope that there will be a certainty that I can play.

02:41 It's a waste if I can't play in the Olympics.
