lpv:translated text	"Madam President, although I welcome the Commissioner’s statement, there is a contradiction in what she has just said. She answered Mr Cohn-Bendit’s question by saying that she has no legal basis to act against this over-professionalisation of sport. Yet, in answer to the question of Mr Barón Crespo, she said that she intends to act when it is a matter of business. The EC Treaty gives the Commission very few means of proposing directives, but it is clear that organisations such as the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia, the Tennis Masters and many others are pure business. These are profit-making activities and, seen from this perspective, the Commission could therefore at least try to regulate the sector and its working conditions to a certain extent. As Mr Cohn-Bendit very rightly said, if sportspeople take drugs, it is because the competitions require this."@en1
