BERLIN Nike Air VaporMax Utility Womens , Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- The harshest anti-doping action in Germany's history is poised to be introduced as a new anti-doping law draft agreed upon by the nation' s government.
According to the new draft, top athletes caught in possession of substances like steroids or the blood booster EPO will face heavy charges, including prison terms. Appearance restriction and re-claiming price money from drug cheats are also took into consideration in the new draft, which is believed to strengthen the position of the German Anti Doping-Agency (NADA). The new anti-doping is believed to be adopted in the first half of 2015 as the draft will be presented in the parliament before the end of the year. "It is a clear statement towards potential dopers that things will get tougher for them in the future." said Dagmar Freitag Nike Air Max 270 Womens , the chair of the parliamentary sports commission. Germany so far has no anti-doping law. Athletes in Germany with substance abuse are only covered within the nation's general medicinal products law unlike covered by separate laws in countries like France or Italy. XINGTAI, June 9, 2016 (Xinhua) -- Citizens select vegetable at a supermarket in Xingtai, north China's Hebei Province, June 8, 2016. China's consumer prices grew 2 percent in May from one year earlier, official data showed on June 9. (XinhuaZhu Xudong) BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) -- China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, grew 2 percent year on year in May, official data showed on Thursday. The May data narrowed from the 2.3-percent growth rate registered in the previous three consecutive months, when the CPI remained at its highest level since July 2014, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed. NBS statistician Yu Qiumei attributed the inflation growth mostly to high food, cigarette and wine prices. Pork prices skyrocketed in May by 33.6 percent year on year, contributing 0.77 percentage points of CPI growth, while vegetable prices jumped by 6.4 percent, accounting for 0.14 percentage points of CPI growth. Food prices soared 5.9 percent year on year while non-food inflation edged up 1.1 percent in May. On a month-on-month basis, the CPI dropped 0.5 percent in May, the NBS said. Since January, CPI data has been calculated using a new comparison base that takes new products and services into consideration, reflecting a change in consumption patterns. The adjustment slightly reduced the weight of food, which used to account for nearly one-third of the CPI calculation. |
