The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, on Tuesday unveiled a legal regime for the integrity of sports and measures to support Olympic, Paralympic, Deaflympic and high-performance athletes after the end of their sports careers.
The proposal for a legal regime for sport integrity establishes illegal acts and a corresponding disciplinary regime associated with “unsportsmanlike conduct that is contrary to the values of truth, loyalty and correctness, and capable of fraudulently altering the results of a competition.”
Among the measures enshrined in it, it is planned to create a platform for monitoring the manipulation of evidence, with experts appointed by the Attorney General’s Office, the Judicial Police, the Portuguese Olympic Committee and the Portuguese Football Federation, among others, ensuring coordination with the director of the anti-corruption unit of the joint venture.
