“The IPD should be clear that the pregnancy of a baby is not, and should not be, the reason that truncates the career of a professional athlete, on the contrary, it is a greater reason for personal and sports improvement. The PAD that they “grant” in favor of professional athletes is not a “gift” or a “liberality” as I once heard, but a retribution for the time and effort that professional athletes invest to obtain achievements for the country.”, he wrote through his social networks.
In your opinion, there should be a procedure for this type of case, such as doing proper notification to athletes, in order for them to make their defenses, in addition to verifying the reasons for which the economic support is withdrawn.
He also requested that issue a regulation to regulate and guarantee services to pregnant athletes and mothers with lactation services.
