The task of the FIVB and the CEV was, is and will be always to prevent all abuse in sports and Volleyball in particular, including, but not limited to doping, betting, corruption and discrimination of all kind, as well as all other cases that do not belong to the Olympic movement and ideals and to sport in general.
