BOCOG and the International
Softball Federation (ISF) will increase bilateral links to ensure quality
medical services and doping control at the softball competitions in the 2008
Olympic Games.
This understanding was reached on Wednesday after a working session between
visiting ISF Vice-President and Medical Representative Dr. Fernando Jorgearen
and staff of the Medical and Health Division of BOCOG Medical Services
Department.
Following BOCOG's briefing on its preparatory work in the area of medical
services and doping control for the 2008 Olympic Games, Dr. Jorgearen voiced
satisfaction over the progress of the work and praised the organizers of the
current women's softball world championship for their efforts in medical
services and doping control.
Doctors of the participating teams at the tournament have been satisfied with
medical facilities at the medical station, medical personnel's services and
their language skills. According to ISF, there have been no complaints about
medical services or doping control since the championship was opened on Sunday.
