HAVANA, CUBA: General view of the inauguration of the Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament of Baseball, 25 August 2006, at the Latin American stadium of Havana. Twelve teams of the region will participate in the tournament, which two winners will get tickets for the 2008 Pekin Olympic Games, six will get places for the 2007 World Baseball Championship in Taiwan and seven will get places for the 2007 Rio de Janeiro Pan-American Games.

(ATR) Las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol de los Estados Unidos no tienen planes para abrir una oficina en La Habana reveló a Around The Rings, Dan Halem, el abogado principal de la organización en entrevista exclusiva.

La teoría de la posible apertura de esta representación como resultado, al parecer, de la supuesta aprobación de la propuesta que la MLB ha presentado al Departamento del Tesoro que formula una nueva vía para que jugadores de Cuba puedan firmar directamente con las franquicias de las Grandes Ligas, cobró fuerza en los últimos días con el anuncio de que el Presidente de los Estados Unidos,Barack Obama, asistirá al juego de exhibición entre un equipo cubano y el club Tampa Bay Rays.

Pero Halem ha aclarado que MLB "no ha recibido una orientación desde la Oficina de Control de Asuntos Extranjeros (Office of Foreign Assets Control,OFAC) respecto a si nuestra propuesta de crear una fórmula sin fines de lucro satisface la ley de los Estados Unidos" en alusión a las restricciones del embargo.

Para quienes esperan que la presencia de Obama en el Estadio Latinoamericano de La Habana el 22 de marzo podría ser especial para escuchar una buena noticia sobre esta negociación Halem no fue optimista.

"Dadas las complejidades del tema, tomará más tiempo para negociar un nuevo sistema de transferencia de jugadores con la Federación Cubana de Béisbol y la Asociación de Jugadores de las Grandes Ligas" dijo.

Aclaró que MLB "no tiene una percepción o información sobre la decisión de los Gourriel para abandonar Cuba" al ser preguntado si este suceso de la deserción reciente lo tomó por sorpresa toda vez que se especulaba que el tercera base Yulieski Gourriel, próximo a cumplir 32 años y considerado el mejor jugador cubano del momento, sería el primero en la lista de las autoridades cubanas de aprobarse la fórmula con la MLB.

Halem declaró a ATR que "estamos honrados de tener al Presidente Obama presente en el juego y que sea una parte de su histórico viaje"

Aún no se ha confirmado si Obama hará el primer lanzamiento del amistoso desafío "no hemos discutido con la Casa Blanca o la Federación Cubana quien lanzará la primera bola" adelantó el abogado principal de las Grandes Ligas quien reveló que en la delegación ligamayorista que viajará a La Habana figuran en el listado de algunas estrellas ya retiradas algunos ex jugadores cubanos. "Anunciaremos sus nombres en breve" señaló.

Sinner-Alcaraz, the duel that came to succeed the three phenomenons

Beyond the final result, Roland Garros left the feeling that the Italian and the Spaniard will shape the great duel that came to help us through the duel for the end of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era.

Table tennis: Brazil’s Bruna Costa Alexandre will be Olympic and Paralympic in Paris 2024

Rugby 7s: the best player of 2023 would only play the medal match in Paris

Argentinian Rodrigo Isgró received a five-game suspension for an indiscipline in the circuit’s decisive clash that would exclude him until the final or the bronze match; the Federation will seek to make the appeal successful.

Rhonex Kipruto, owner of the world record for the 10000 meters on the road, was suspended for six years

The Kenyan received the maximum sanction for irregularities in his biological passport and the Court considered that he was part of a system of “deliberate and sophisticated doping” to improve his performance. He will lose his record and the bronze medal at the Doha World Cup.

Katie Ledecky spoke about doping Chinese swimmers: “It’s difficult to go to Paris knowing that we’re going to compete with some of these athletes”

The American, a seven-time Olympic champion, referred to the case of the 23 positive controls before the Tokyo Games that were announced a few weeks ago and shook the swimming world. “I think our faith in some of the systems is at an all-time low,” he said.
