A draft law on fines for sports agents working without accreditation has been prepared and will be submitted to the State Duma, a representative of one of the developers of the document, a member of the Duma Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, Boris Paykin, told RBC.
The document, which was developed by the deputies Boris Paikin (LDPR) and Vladislav Tretyak (United Russia), had already been submitted to the Duma, but in April it was returned for revision. Now the bill "On Amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses in terms of improving the activities of sports agents" has received a positive response from the government and is preparing for a new submission to parliament.
If the document is adopted, then sports agents working without accreditation will face a fine of up to 50 thousand rubles if they act as individuals, or up to 400 thousand rubles if a legal entity acts as an agent.
The agent called the reports of Zakharyan's possible transfer to Real Madrid nonsense. Football “Today, the activities of such agents inflict damage on individual athletes who were deceived, entered into an agreement on onerous terms and had to give the lion's share of their income to a sports agent,” he said, commenting on the preparation of the bill , Paikin.
According to him, "the domestic sports industry as a whole suffers from the activities of such agents." “After all, such agents, in pursuit of profit, lure talented young athletes abroad where the latter, contrary to expectations, are deprived of the opportunity for professional development and career growth,” the deputy noted.
The parliamentarian said that the revision of the bill for submission to the State Duma continues. “The main thing is that the adoption of these documents will increase the level of protection of athletes and coaches from unscrupulous agents. I am confident that the accredited professional agents will in no way be affected by these changes, ”Paikin said.
The State Duma proposed to fine the players of the Russian national team for a bad game. Football In Russia, at the legislative level, no penalties have been provided for sports agents or self-named representatives of athletes.
