Proceeding contribution from Baroness Neville-Jones (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 July 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Disclosure of Information by SOCA) Order 2010.
Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (Disclosure of Information by SOCA) Order 2010
The noble Lord makes a very important point when he says that the cheats and those who connive with them destroy trust between competitors and also between competitors and the audience. That is extremely destructive, particularly of the Olympic spirit. The Government agree that we must do what we can to stamp on this. It is very much to be hoped that this move by the UK will increase our ability to contribute to the international effort that has to be made against doping in sport. There are people who make a more than adequate living out of producing ever more sophisticated performance-enhancing drugs. We must chase them as hard as we can. I am grateful for the support of the noble Lord. Motion agreed.
