One of the members & egrave; Sven Mollekleiv, president of the Norwegian Red Cross, which in one & rsquo; interview with NRK has complained about the low use of this organ: & ldquo; & egrave Involve tips and specialized committees; often a wise choice. I would expect that the Council was called into question more and ugrave; often & rdquo ;.
The analyzed cases, in almost two years, was only nine. In particular, the Council & ndash; as you stated by the President Merete Smith & ndash; is not serious; ever been asked in & rsquo; scope of Sundby and Johaug cases. & Ldquo; They are the leaders of the Norwegian Olympic Committee (NIF), which must decide whether to contact us & rdquo ;, added Smith. & Ldquo; When we accepted this assignment, we did it with the & rsquo; intent to help the sport of our country, and among us there are many people with ability & agrave; to do & rdquo ;.
The Secretary-General of the NIF, Inge Andersen, has cos & igrave; We said: & ldquo; We believe we have a good dialogue with the Council, and in & rsquo; last meeting, on 18 October, we discussed these events. It remains to memorize options the fact that there & egrave; provided that such a body should intervene in situations in which a court & egrave; He called to decide, as the TAS on this occasion & rdquo ;.
The Olympic Committee had actually & agrave; became aware of the case gi & agrave Sundby; in February 2015, well before the & rsquo; arrival on the scene of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. & Ldquo; Even then, bringing the matter to the Council could look like a & rsquo; interference in the investigation and handling of the case. The NIF was not a party in this affair & rdquo ;. Andersen added that the case & egrave; occupied another special working group, set up by Olympiatoppen, l & rsquo; internal organization of the Olympic Committee that deals with the preparation of top athletes.
The explanation did not convince Mollekleiv: & ldquo; We could offer useful advice, it would be wise to ask an opinion. We can be d & rsquo; help from an ethical and legal point of view. We should listen to those who have experience and & egrave; can ensure prevention, assistance and information & rdquo ;.
& Egrave; However, it was argued that the Council, while receiving a rule details of the circumstances to be taken into consideration, has the faculty & agrave; to deal with others on their own initiative. & Ldquo; We & egrave; seemed natural to adopt this solution & rdquo ;, replied Smith. & Ldquo; In general, expect it to be the NIF to contact us, before you begin to study a case. On this occasion there & rsquo; it was no reason to make a & rsquo; exception & rdquo ;.
Trine Moholdt, who has served on the Board until the & rsquo; last August, he claimed to share perplexities & agrave; former colleagues.
Figure instead still among the members Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen. & Ldquo; In fact, this resource can be exploited to pi & ugrave; & rdquo ;, said two-time World Championships, & ldquo; but I want to stress that the Council & egrave; an advisory body. We have the power to make decisions & rdquo ;.
