Commentary by Michael J. Stott<\/em><\/p>\n

While the swimming community basks this week in the excitement of the Olympic team selection it is instructive to acknowledge some underlying elements regarding the competitive landscape itself. Several elements have medical overtones. One has to do with the size of the Games themselves and how it affects athlete relay participation, while the other has to do with health concerns and issues of fair play.<\/p>\n

FINA rule 1.06 addresses relays and the rules of engagement for selected relay team members. Relay squad size is restricted to six. Should six athletes be selected FINA mandates that each swim at least once in prelims or finals. According to a March 2015 ruling regarding Rio in 2016 the relay qualification is spelled out as follows: “If a NOC enters relay-only swimmers for a specific event, those swimmers must <\/u>swim either in the heat or final of that relay event. Should a relay-only swimmer not compete, this will lead to disqualification of the respective team in the final.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Olympics, especially in this day and time, size matters. \u201cThe intention of the rule is to cap the size of meets\/entrants and the exponential mushrooming of required support staff,\u201d suggests James W. Miller<\/strong>, FAAFP\/Sports Medicine and National Team Physician for USA Swimming. Miller is also one of 10 members of the FINA Sports Medicine Committee. Attempting to cap Games size makes sense given the difficulty of countries without the existing infrastructure or resources to properly host the quadrennial spectacle.<\/p>\n

Given the cap, it is difficult to add new sports (golf, surfing, etc.) without taking away numbers (or the activity altogether) from an existing sport. \u201cIf you add another sport you need to subtract athletes, or a sports altogether,\u201d says Miller.<\/p>\n

But let’s go back\u00a0to countries with six relay members. What if relay members fifth or sixth swimmers aren\u2019t as fast as the top four? \u201cIf you have an athlete who has been selected and is not going to participate, he must have an acceptable reason for not participating. It could be an injury, an illness, a reaction to a mosquito bite and so on,\u201d says Miller. \u201cA lot of those things are decisions that have to be made by professionals, i.e. the physicians that will be overseeing that team. Team physicians are conflicted by definition,\u201d he comments. That means for aquatic sports the FINA Sports Committee members will render those decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis by a physician. Would I judge a 50 freestyler the same way I would judge a 10K open water guy? Probably a little differently. It will depend upon what the athlete does and how he presents,\u201d says Miller.<\/p>\n

Three common concerns he has heard concerning Brazil as an event site are venue water quality, use of probiotics and the Zika virus. Unlike some Miller is unconcerned about water quality for the open water and triathlon events citing that testing results were \u201cfine\u201d and that the last Masters meet in Rio passed muster. Water quality for boating events is another matter.<\/p>\n

Those who use probiotics to ward off infection need to be mindful of ingredients and any banned substance lists. As for the Zika virus he sees it highly unlikely to affect any athlete.<\/p>\n

So . . . what about doping? Miller skirts the issue some by citing a decades old study that asked a number of world class athletes that if they were given the chance to take a substance that would guarantee them a gold medal but would shorten their lives to five years would they indulge? More than 90 percent said they would. \u201cPeople of that maturity don\u2019t get a lot of resistance to that concept,\u201d says Miller.<\/p>\n

Yesterday when John Leonard<\/strong>, the excecutive director of the American Swim Coaches Association, was asked if Rio would be the dirtiest Games ever, he reaffirmed his long held belief by saying \u201cbeyond comprehension.\u201d The recent IAAF ban of Russian track athletes and resulting IOC waffling permitting their possible reintroduction has only served to strengthen his concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
