ASTANA. KAZINFORM - A sports medicine concept is set to be developed in Kazakhstan, according to vice chairman of the Kazakh Agency for Sports Affairs and Physical Culture Yelsiyar Kanagatov.
"The agency is working on that issue. We've submitted a redrafted bill "On physical culture and sport" to the Parliament. After both chambers, the Majilis and the Senate, approve the bill nearly 50 bylaws on sports medicine and science are to be adopted," Mr. Kanagatov said. "After dismal performance of our athletes at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, we've decided to make those amendments and develop the new concept of sports medicine," he added.
