Seminar on doping

JAKARTA (JP): City administration holds a two-day seminar on
doping as part of its preparations to set up an international
anti doping laboratory and an anti doping commission starting
yesterday.

A committee organizer, R.S. Museno said on Wednesday that city
administration is considering setting up the lab in a bid to cut
down financial expenses needed for doping tests, especially
during the 1996 National Games.

Currently, the tests are taken in Beijing, China, which has an
international laboratory.

The seminar, held in Puncak, West Java, features several
speakers, including the minister of health, the minister of youth
affairs and sports, the chairman of National Sports Council and
anti doping experts from Germany. (yns)
