Brazil Passes Key Anti-Doping Legislation One Day Before Deadline

Brazil passed "key anti-doping legislation on Thursday that avoided the embarrassing possibility of the country being in breach of the rules at its own Olympic Games," according to Pedro Fonseca of REUTERS. The legislation was "officially confirmed in the government's official gazette, one day before the deadline" set by WADA. The decree creates one tribunal for doping cases across all sports, as "WADA demanded in November when it named Brazil one of the countries not in compliance with its guidelines." Until now, "state and national courts heard anti-doping cases." The move "also seeks to speed up hearings to the international standard of a maximum of 21 days, less than the maximum of 60 days more common in Brazil" (REUTERS, 3/17).
