These opportunities for athletes to express their views will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the mixed zones, including when speaking to the media<\/li>\n<li>In the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) or the Main Media Centre (MMC), including when speaking to the media<\/li>\n<li>During press conferences in the venue or in the MMC<\/li>\n<li>During interviews<\/li>\n<li>At team meetings, subject to NOC conditions<\/li>\n<li>In traditional media or digital media<\/li>\n<li>Through social media channels, consistent with IOC and NOC social media guidelines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cFINA fully supports an athlete\u2019s right to free speech. It is a fundamental aspect of democracy and such voice should not be suppressed, within the bounds of respect and dignity. Our athletes\u2019 voices matter and should be heard,\u201d said FINA President <strong>Husain Al Musallam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent with FINA\u2019s practice at all of its competitions, based on the FINA Code of Conduct, any political, religious or discriminatory statement or behaviour will remain strictly prohibited on the field of play, starting when the athlete leaves the call room or similar. Consistent with FINA&#8217;s practice and the IOC&#8217;s guidelines on the implementation of its Rule 50.2, political, religious or discriminatory statements during the medal ceremonies and on the medal podiums will also be prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Athletes have the right to the privacy of the moment, to remain free of unnecessary distraction from the competition and preparation, with the pool deck remaining a sanctity for sport and nothing else. The pool deck is and must always remain a place of friendship and respect for the greater whole, not the individual,\u201d said Al Musallam.\u00a0 \u201cThe same level of respect should be given to the podium. This moment celebrates the accomplishments of individuals\/teams, their support teams, coaches, families and nations, who each and all deserve to cherish that moment without interference.\u00a0 It is a moment that commands respect and triumph for sporting results and should not be remembered by individual expression.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most talked about and controversial storylines heading into the Olympics in Tokyo has been the stance on athlete self-expression and social protest.
