Irene Lozano

took a

touch

to the minister,

Jose Manuel Rodriguez Uribes

, after the Council Superior de Deportes (CSD), a

body chaired Lozano,

give by broken negotiations

with the Federations to establish a protocol that would

allow the return of the sport unprofessional.

That is to say, those thousands of athletes

(athletes, volleyball players, hockey players, taekwondo players, judocas, etc ...)

who, although they may even be among the world's elite, are in their disciplines for the love of art.

Just

72 hours after

that

touch

, the CSD has released the famous protocol on Thursday.

Nor is it that it is very specific

.

In its 29 pages, it dedicates the first ones to a constant appeal to the individual responsibility of all the actors: athletes, referees, public, etc ... and then

establish a series of very ... imprecise measures

, to put it that way, and that They can be summarized as follows:

the use of the mask during training and competitions is "voluntary", the performance of PCR tests is only "recommended"

and is limited to 500 (in closed rooms) and 1,000 (in open rooms) the allowed public.

Masks first.

The protocol says:

"The use of the mask by athletes and referee teams during training and competitions is voluntary

.

"

That is, nothing will oblige, as some Autonomous Communities (Madrid, for example, it is stated in their current protocols), to practice sports with a mask.

Of course, during high intensity workouts, the CSD recommends increasing the distance between the actors to "five or six meters".

But the biggest problem with the return of amateur competitions was

the realization of PCR

, an economic cost that most Federations and clubs of minority disciplines cannot bear.

Perhaps resigned to the fact that the activity could not be stopped any longer, the Government allows it to begin without these tests.

The protocol reads: "The CSD recommends that in all competitions [...] at the beginning of pre-season training or, failing that, 72 hours before the start of the competitions, a specific COVID 19 test be carried out."

That is,

"recommends"

.

But of course, then the substance comes.

Who pays for that?

Well, it remains to be seen: Follow the protocol: "Aspects such as the type of test to be carried out, its financing, the evaluation of its usefulness and whether it should be carried out more times [...] will be determined with health criteria, within the framework of the existing coordination mechanisms with the CCAA. These will analyze the evolution of infections in these sports competitions on a regular basis ".

That is, for now, everything in the air.

Of course, public is allowed.

However, another important problem for this type of sports, including the most modest football, is that most of their income is obtained in their venues (ticket sales, raffles, bars, etc ...).

The Government will allow up to 500 people in closed areas and up to 1,000 in open areas

, as long as the safety distances that we must all comply with can be maintained.

It is, in short, an imprecise oxygen balloon for a sport, the one that does not appear on television, on the verge of collapse.
