FINA Bureau Votes to Remove Disgraced Doctor Lothar Kipke From FINA Honours List
The FINA Bureau has unanimously voted to remove Dr. Lothar Kipke from the FINA honours list, effective immediately. Kipke was convicted for the leading role he played in doping East German swimmers in the 1970s and 1980s. Following the election of FINA President Captain Husain Al-Musallam, and based on extensive consultation with the swimming community, FINA promised a swift response to the matter.
“There is no place for doping in aquatics and certainly no place for individuals who have been found guilty of causing great damage to our sport, and cheating clean athletes of a fair chance. For a doctor to harm athletes in the search for medals is unacceptable and I am proud that FINA has decided to send a clear message,” said FINA President Al-Musallam.
Kipke had received a FINA award in the 1980s as a former member of the FINA Medical Commission, long before his extensive wrongdoing came to light.
“FINA will continue to listen carefully to the swimming community as we address FINA’s actions of the past while delivering reforms for the future. I am fully confident that the measures we are implementing mean that aquatics athletes can be sure of FINA’s determination to protect clean athletes and promote clean sport.”

Palestine – The Paralympic Committee Launches a Swimming Championship for the Lower Limb Amputees | A24 News Agency EN
The Paralympic committee inaugurated the swimming championship for the lower limb amputees who mainly lost their limbs in the 2018–2019 Gaza border protests. Categorization and race distances are based on the level of the disability, as distances range between 25 to 50 meters. It is worth mentioning that winners of such races will be eligible to participate in championships held outside Gaza. However, amputees complained that there are no pools in Gaza and they were accordingly forced into training in the sea, where circumstances are way different in terms of water’s saltiness. This was coupled with closing borders that made it impossible for swimmers to participate in any championships outside Gaza.
