"Sport is a worldwide phenomenon, and is therefore also an important economic driver within the EU. In addition, sport promotes public health and makes a significant contribution to people’s work-life balance. Professional sport has a dark side, however, which should not be ignored. Doping is an increasing problem and is threatening to spill over into amateur sport, too. Major sporting events foster national identity and support the economies of the individual countries involved. The report did not get my vote, which is to say I abstained from voting, because further measures by the EU are likely to result in there being less and less room for national identity, particularly in relation to the sporting fan base."@en1
