Hello O. Atakan Tekin,
Thank you for your note. We never thought the virus was from you. We value you and your MarathonTurk and have huge respect for your work. As a matter of fact, we would like to know if you are interested in collaborating (again) with Run The Planet.
We would like to feature in our monthly "Run The Planet Newsletter" a section with running news from all over the world and we were wondering if you could be interested in collaborating with Run The Planet on a regular basis, by sending us every month a short five/ten lines text regarding a Turkish running news.
The text should be in English and it could be (at your choice):
a) an article on a local race already done
b) an article on a local upcoming race
c) an article on something that happened related with the local running community
You (or your website) would be quoted as the source of the information. You have also the rights to reprint the text you sent us on your own website, after it has been sent in our "Rtp Newsletter".

Please let us know what you think.
Thank you for your time

ATLETIZM'DE KAN KONTROLU :
AIMS* (Uluslararası Maratonlar ve Yol Yarışları Birliği) Yönetim Kurulu'nun Avrupalı üyeleri 7 Temmuz'da Lizbon'da yaptıkları toplantı sonunda aşağıdaki demeci yayınladılar.
“Gelecek ay [Ağustos 2001] Edmonton'da yapılacak olan IAAF Dünya Atletizm Şampiyonası'nda uygulanacak kan kontrolu bizi cesaretlendirdi. Bu kontrolun başarılı olacağını ümit ediyoruz."
“AIMS üyeleri 2002'den itibaren önemli yol yarışlarında kullanılabilecek kan kontrolu protokollarını IAAF'ın kendilerine vereceğini ümit ediyorlar."
“AIMS üyeleri bu gibi protokolların ilk uygulamalarındaki zorlukları anlamaktadırlar. Ancak son günlerde bisikletteki olaylar ve etkili işlem yapılmamasından doğan sonuçlar bu kontrolun gerektiğini göstermektedir."
“AIMS, üyelerinin ünlü atletlerle yeni IAAF kan testi protokollerine bağlayıcı kontratlar yapacaklarına inanmaktadır. Yeni kan kontrolu protokollerine uyamayacağını bildiren atletler yarışabilir ancak para ödüllerinde hak sahibi olamazlar."
NOT : Yukarıdaki demeçte söz edilen kan kontrolu protokolleri aşağıdaki maddeleri kapsayabilir.
1. Kontrolleri kim yönetecek ?
2. Gerekli kan hacmi, mühürlenmesi, muhafazası ve örneğin taşınması.
3. Örneklerin tahlili için yetkili laboratuvarlar.
4 a) Yasaklanmış maddelerin listesi. b) Müsaade edilebilir sınırlar (e.g. haematocrit, caffeine).
5. Bütün kontrol sonuçlarının IAAF'a bildirilmesi.
İlk tahlilde olumsuz çıkan kontrollerde:
6. İkinci örneğin tahlili.
7. Numunesi iki tahlilde de olumsuz çıkan atletler için yasaklama prosedürü.
* Carlos Moya (Lizbon Yarı-Maratonu,Portekiz), Wim Verhoorn (City-Pier City Yarı-Maratonu, Hollanda), Paco Borao (Valencia Maratonu, Ispanya), Alan Storey (Londra Maratonu, Ingiltere), Hugh Jones (AIMS Sekreteri)

BLOOD TESTING IN ATHLETICS :
European members of the Board of Directors of AIMS* (the Association of International Marathons and Road Races), after a meeting held in Lisbon on Saturday 7 July, released the following statement :
“We are encouraged that blood testing will take place at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics, to be held in Edmonton next month [August 2001]. We hope that this testing will be successful.
“AIMS members hope that the IAAF will be able to provide us with blood testing protocols that can be used in major road races from 2002.
“AIMS members understand the difficulties in introducing such protocols but recent events in cycling show the need to do this and the consequences which could result from failing to take effective action.
“AIMS believes that its member events can produce contracts with leading athletes that will bind them to the new IAAF blood testing protocols. Athletes who feel unable to submit to the new blood testing protocols may be able to compete but they will not be eligible for prize awards.”
NOTE: The blood testing protocols referred to in the above statement would cover the following matters:
1. Who administers the testing?
2. The volume of blood required, and the sealing, storage and transport of the sample.
3. Accredited laboratories for the analysis of samples.
4 a) a list of banned substances. b) allowable limits (e.g. haematocrit, caffeine).
5. Reporting of all test results to the IAAF.
Then, for tests which fail the first analysis:
6. Analysis of the second sample
7. Banning procedure for athletes whose samples fail both analyses
* Carlos Moya (Meia Maratona de Lisboa, Portugal), Wim Verhoorn (City-Pier City Half Marathon, Netherlands), Paco Borao (Valencia Marathon, Spain), Alan Storey (London Marathon, Great Britain), Hugh Jones (AIMS Secretary)
