It encourages promotion of anti-toping controls for international competitions. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The convention addresses a variety of areas that are essential in promoting anti-doping controls, such as scientific and medical research, prevention and education activities, and regulations involving doping substances and methods,&quot; White House press secretary Dana Perino said in a written statement Thursday. &quot;The convention&#39;s principles are already reflected in U.S. law and policy, and United States policy is presently consistent with the convention.&quot; <\/p>\n<p>The United States Olympic Committee called the President&#39;s action a significant step forward in the process of securing ratification of the convention by the U.S. government. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;We join President Bush in encouraging prompt ratification by the Senate,&quot; USOC Chief Executive Jim Scherr said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dave Ungrady, Courtesy of WCSN.com WASHINGTON, D.C., February 8.
