[Recommendations for competitive sports eligibility: what's new in the 2023 COCIS protocols]. / Raccomandazioni per il giudizio di idoneità allo sport agonistico: le novità del COCIS 2023.

The benefit of physical exercise is well established, but, at the same time, it is now well known that an intense sports activity can trigger adverse cardiac events and increase sport-related death. Since 1982, Italy has a State law which obliges athletes to undergo a pre-participation evaluation, based on history, physical examination, ECG and stress test. From its introduction, a significant reduction in cardiac sport-related adverse events has been shown. During the pre-participation screening, some cardiological issues or suspects can arise and the sports medicine doctor should deal with them before releasing the certification for participation in competitive sport. In order to give precious advices to these colleagues and help athletes to securely practice sport, the Italian Society of Sports Cardiology, the Italian Federation of Sports Medicine and the other cardiological scientific societies gathered in the COCIS Committee, periodically produce and publish a booklet named "Cardiological Protocols for Competitive Sports Eligibility". The object of this review is to underline the recent 2023 version innovations when compared to previous editions.

El dopaje y su repercusión ética y legal / Doping and its ethical and legal repercussion

Se analiza en este artículo el fenómeno del dopaje desde un enfoque pluridisciplinar: histórico, médico, ético y jurídico. Tras estudiar las principales sustancias dopantes, con sus mecanismos de acción y utilización, se plantean las interpretaciones legales desde diferentes aspectos: en el ámbito deportivo (homologación de marcas, desnaturalización de la competición que da lugar a problemas éticos) y el ámbito criminal (cuando se generan problemas sanitarios tales como accidentes, lesiones o incluso la muerte). La lucha contra el fenómeno del dopaje en el deporte se ha ido viendo reflejada en la legislación de los diferentes estados. A este respecto destacan en España la Ley del Deporte de 1990 y el código Penal de 1995, y a nivel internacional el Convenio de Estrasburgo de 1989. La Unión Europea ha desarrollado también importantes actuaciones en este ámbito, apoyándose en instancias como el Grupo Europeo de Ética para contribuir finalmente a la creación de la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje, que ha dado lugar al Código Mundial Antidopaje, apostando por una acción multinacional para luchar contra un fenómeno de dimensión mundial

The phenomenon of the dopaje is analyzed in this article from an approach to multidiscipline: historical, medical, ethical and legal. After studying the main substances of doping, with their mechanisms of action and use, the legal interpretations consider from different aspects: in the sport world (homologation of records, denaturation of the competition that gives rise to ethical problems) and in the legal way (when sanitary problems are generated such as accidents, injuries or even the death). The fight against the doping in the sport has been seen reflected in the legislation of the different states. In this respect they emphasize in Spain the Law of Sport (1990) and the Penal Code (1995), and at international level the Agreement of Strasbourg (1989). The European Union has also developed important performances on the matter, with the help of instances like the European Group of Ethics to contribute finally to the creation of Worldwide Antidoping Agency, that has given rise to the Worldwide Antidoping Code, betting by a multinational action to fight against a phenomenon of worldwide dimension
