The document states that in the case of statements to the media, athletes must refrain from “unsubstantiated statements against national sports institutions, coaches or athletes.”

They are also required to be responsible for “all statements issued on any of the social networks in which I operate, I will strictly avoid harm to the institutional image and / or any of the representatives of the National System of Physical Culture and Sports.”

“I certify that if I do not comply with what is set forth in the field of discipline or do not achieve the aforementioned goals and commitments, I acknowledge the determination made by CONADE regarding the cancellation of my scholarship,” reads the published rules.
