Athletes' declaration
迎接2008年北京奥运会，志愿服务从你我开始。我们特别邀请Olly和Gabe与大家一同分享奥运志愿者生活中的有趣片段。
As a diligent student, Olly hates all kinds of cheating. When she heard about the alleged doping by the Tour de France champion Floyd Landis, she wondered if the Olympics set any guidelines for competitors. Then she found the following declaration included in the athletes' entry form. Only those who've signed this declaration can take part in the Olympics.
Declaration
"Understanding that, as a participant in the Olympic Games, I am participating in an exceptional event which has ongoing international and historical significance, and in consideration of the acceptance of my participation therein, I agree to be filmed, televised, photographed, identified and otherwise recorded during the Olympic Games under the conditions and for the purposes now or hereafter authorized by the International Olympic Committee in relation to the promotion of the Olympic Games and Olympic Movement.
I also agree to comply with the Olympic Charter currently in force, in particular, with the provisions of the Olympic Charter regarding eligibility for the Olympic Games, the mass media, and the allowable trademark identification on clothing and equipment worn or used at the Olympic Games... I also agree to comply with the World Anti-Doping Code and with the IOC Code of Ethics.
All relevant and applicable provisions and rules have been brought to my attention by my National Olympic Committee and/or my National Sports Federation or International Sports Federation."
Then at the Opening Ceremony a competitor of the host country, on behalf of all competitors, takes a solemn oath:
Olympic Oath
"In the name of all the competitors I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them, committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sports and the honour of our teams."
