SAO PAULO, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Pork products sold at retailers in Brazil contain antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to a study funded by animal rights group World Animal Protection (WAP), providing potential evidence of overuse of the medicines in food livestock.

Other key concerns were whether players had been provided with enough time to return to competition fitness and whether, in the case of injury, they would have access to the usual range of treatment and rehabilitation, given the strain on health services.

Those packets could contain anything from an email to an IP address and more.  This decrypts witless 'packets' which are essentially shipments of data from a device to a router that are broken up into smaller parts and then reassembled at their destination.

In August, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said that athletes testing positive for recreational drugs out-of-competition would be banned for 1-3 months instead of two years when the policy is changed next year.

Specifically, the exploit, dubbed KrØØk allowed hackers to tinker with the encryption of data communicated between a device and the router, causing it to change from a random string of characters to all zeroes and effectively rending the encryption useless.

"Beyond treating disease, the antibiotics are commonly used to avoid illnesses caused by the handling of the animals and the high levels of stress caused by the extreme conditions in which they are confined," WAP said.

"It is now essential that no player serves a sanction one day longer than they have to under the new rules. Swift action by anti-doping authorities will ensure players will no longer be left to suffer with their careers in jeopardy."

"Many players will not have had access to the necessary training methods to ensure that they have the necessary fitness and conditioning to compete," said the World Players' Association (WPA), whose members play in the NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, European soccer and Australian Rules football, among others.

'This results in scenarios where client devices that are unaffected (either patched or using different Wi-Fi chips not vulnerable to Kr00k) can be connected to an access point (often times beyond an individual's control) that is vulnerable,' researchers wrote in a research paper.

The document added: '[Although the] economic pressures are real and increasing, it is equally true that so much remains unknown about the harmful nature, transmission and long-term health impacts of COVID-19 that has devastated communities and livelihoods globally.

Are players being asked to limit or sacrifice interactions with family, friends and other support networks? If so, can a safe return to play be delivered through less restrictive, or alternative measures.' 

If an athlete can show these drugs were consumed out-of-competition and not related to enhanced sport performance, the suspension imposed would be three months, reduced to one month if they complete a drug rehabilitation program.

The WPA added that anti-doping authorities must now collaborate with player associations and WADA to ensure those serving existing sanctions for consuming these substances should be permitted to apply for a reduced sentence.

BERN, June 4 (Reuters) - Players may be at an increased risk of injury as professional sports rush back into action following the coronavirus stoppage, a global union representing 85,000 athletes said on Thursday.

WPA executive director Brendan Schwab pointed to a study conducted by Australian sports scientist Joel Mason last month which suggested an increased injury rate in the Bundesliga since Germany's professional soccer league restarted on May 16.

The four-page report, entitled Guiding Considerations For A Safe Return To Work And Play, has been drawn up by the World Players' Association ahead of a conference call on Wednesday involving the players' representatives in all major sports, including footballers' union FIFPro, cricketers' equivalent FICA and the bodies representing stars of the NBA, NFL and Major League Baseball.

The WPA said that one key measure would be to reduce the strain by modifying rest periods, substitutions and duration of matches, as soccer had done by allowing five substitutions per team instead of three.
