If the IOF decides to reinstate suspended Consequences or decides not to reinstate suspended Consequences , that decision may be appealed by any Person entitled to appeal under Article 13. |
10.7.1.2 To further encourage Athletes and other Person s to provide Substantial Assistance to Anti-Doping Organizations , at the request of the IOF or at the request of the Athlete or other Person who has , or has been asserted to have, committed an anti -doping rule violation, or other violation of the Code, WADA may agree at any stage of the Results Management process, including after an appellate decision under Article 13, to what it considers to be an appropr iate suspension of the otherwise- applicable period of Ineligibility and other Consequences . |
In exceptional circumstances, WADA may agree to suspensions of the period of In eligibility and other Consequences for Substantial Assistance greater than those otherwise provided in this IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 36 of 66 Article, or even no period of Ineligibility , no mandatory Public Disclosure and/or no return of prize money or payment of fines or costs. |
WADA ’s approval shall be subject to reinstatement of Consequences , as otherwise provided in thi s Article. |
Notwithstanding Article 13, WADA’s decisions in the context of this Article 10.7.1.2 may not be appealed. |
10.7.1.3 If the IOF suspends any part of an otherwise applicable sanction because of Substantial Assistance, then notice providing justif ication for the decision shall be provided to the other Anti-Doping Organizations with a right to appeal under Article 13.2.3 as provided in Article 14. |
In unique circumstances where WADA determines that it would be in the best interest of anti -doping, WAD A may authorize t he IOF to enter into appropriate confidentiality agreements limiting or delaying the disclosure of the Substantial Assistance agreement or the nature of Substantial Assistance being provided. |
10.7.2 Admission of an Anti -Doping Rule Viola tion in the Absence of Other Evidence Where an Athlete or other Person voluntarily a dmits the commission of an anti -doping rule violation before having received notice of a Sample collection which could establish an anti-doping rule violation (or, in the case of an anti -doping rule violation other than Article 2.1, before receiving first notice of the admitted violation pursuant to Article 7) and that admission is the only reliable evidence of the violation at the time of admission, then the period of Ineligibility may be reduced, but not below one- half of the period of Ineligibility other wise applicable.51 10.7.3 Application of Multiple Grounds for Reduction of a Sanction Where an Athlete or other Person establishes entitlement to reduction in sanction under more than one provision of Article 10.5, 10.6 or 10.7, before applying any reduction or suspension under Article 10.7, the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility shall be determined in accordanc e with Articles 10.2, 10.3, 10.5, and 10.6. |
If the Athlete or other Person establishes entitlement to a reduction or suspension of the period of Ineligibility under Article 10.7, then the period of Ineligibility may be reduced or suspended, but not below o ne-fourth of the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility . |
10.8 Results Management Agreements 10.8.1 One Year Reduction for Certain Anti -Doping Rule Violations Based on Early Admission and Acceptance of Sanction Where an Athlete or other Person, after being notified by t he IOF of a potential ant i-doping rule violation that carries an asserted period of Ineligibility of four (4) or more years (including any period of Ineligibility asserted under Article 10.4), admits the violation and accepts the asserted period of Ineligibility no later than twenty ( 20) days after receiving notice of an anti -doping rule violation charge, the Athlete or other Person may receive a one-year reduction in the period of Ineligibility asserted by the IOF . |
Where the Athlete or 51 [Comment to Article 10.7.2: This Article is intended to apply when an Athlete or other Person comes forward and admits to an anti-doping rule violation in circumstances where no Anti -Doping Organization is aware that an anti -doping rule violation might have been committed. |
It is not intended to apply to circumstances where the admission occurs after the Athlete or other Person believes he or she is about to be caught. |
The a mount by which Ineligibility is reduced should be based on the likelihood that the Athlete or other Person would have been caught had he or she not come forward voluntarily.] |
IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 37 of 66 other Person receives the one- year reduction in the asserted period of Ineligibility under this Article 10.8.1, no further reduction in the asserted period of Ineligibility shall be allowed under any other Article.52 10.8.2 Case Resolution Agreement Where the Athlete or other Person admits an anti -doping rule violation after being confronted with the anti -doping rule violation by the IOF and agrees to Consequences acceptable to the IOF and WADA, at their sole discretion, then: (a) the Athlete or other Person may receive a reduction in the period of Ineligibility based on an assessment by the IOF and WADA of the application of Articles 10.1 through 10.7 to the asserted anti -doping rule violation, the seriousness of the violation, the Athlete or other Person’s degree of Fault and how promptly the Athlete or other Person admitted the violation; and (b) the period of Ineligibility may start as early as the date of Sample collection or the date on which another anti -doping rule violation last occurred. |
In each case, however, where this Article is appli ed, the Athlete or other Person shall serve at least one- half of the agreed-upon period of Ineligibility going forward from the earlier of the date the Athlete or other Person accepted the imposition of a sanction or a Provisional Suspension which was subs equently respected by the Athlete or other Person . |
The decision by WADA and the IOF to enter or not enter into a case resolution agreement, and the amount of the reduction to, and the starting date of, the period of Ineligibility are not matters for determina tion or review by a hearing body and are not subject to appeal under Article 13. |
If so requested by an Athlete or other Person who seeks to enter into a case resolution agreement under this Article, t he IOF shall allow the Athlete or other Person to disc uss an admission of the anti -doping rule violation with it subject to a Without Prejudice Agreement .53 10.9 Multiple Violations 10.9.1 Second or Third Anti -Doping Rule Violation 10.9.1.1 For an Athlete or other Person’s second anti -doping rule violat ion, the period of Ineligibility shall be the greater of: (a) A six -month period of Ineligibility ; or (b) A period of Ineligibility in the range between: (i) the sum of the period of Ineligibility imposed for the first anti -doping rule violation plus the period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable to the second anti -doping rule violation treated as if it were a first violation, and (ii) twice the period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable to the second anti -doping rule violation treated as if it were a fi rst violation . |
52 [Comment to Article 10.8.1: For example, if the IOF alleges that an Athlete ha s violated Article 2.1 for Use of an anabolic steroid and asserts the applicable period of Ineligibility is four (4) years, then the Athlete may unilaterally reduce the period of Ineligibility to three (3) years by admitting the violation and accepting the three -year period of Ineligibility within the time specified in this Article, with no further reduction allowed. |
This resolves the case without any need for a hearing.] |
53 [Comment to Article 10.8: Any mitigating or aggravating factors set forth in this Article 10 shall be considered in arriving at the Consequences set forth in the case resolution agreement, and shall not be applicable beyond the terms of that agreement.] |
IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 38 of 66 The period of Ineligibility within this range shall be determined based on the entirety of the circumstances and the Athlete or other Person ’s degree of Fault with respect to the second violation. |
10.9.1.2 A third anti -doping rule violati on will always result in a lifetime period of Ineligibility , except if the third violation fulfills the condition for elimination or reduction of the period of Ineligibility under Article 10.5 or 10.6, or involves a violation of Article 2.4. |
In these parti cular cases, the period of Ineligibility shall be from eight (8) years to lifetime Ineligibility . |
10.9.1. |
3 The period of Ineligibility established in Articles 10.9.1.1 and 10.9.1.2 may then be further reduced by the applic ation of Article 10.7. |
10.9.2 An anti -doping rule violation for which an Athlete or other Person has established No Fault or Negligence shall not be considered a violation for purposes of this Article 10.9. |
In addition, an anti -doping rule violation sanctioned under Article 10.2.4.1 s hall not be considered a violation for purposes of Article 10.9 . |
10.9.3 Additional Rules for Certain Pot ential Multiple Violations 10.9.3.1 For purposes of imposing sanctions under Article 10.9, except as provided in Articles 10.9.3.2 and 10.9.3.3, an anti-doping rule violation will only be considered a second violation if t he IOF can establish that the Athlete or other Person committed the additional anti -doping rule violation after the Athlete or other Person received notice pursuant to Article 7, or after the IOF made reasonable efforts to give notice of the first anti -doping rule violation. |
If the IOF cannot establish this, the violations shall be considered together as one single first violation, and the sanction imposed shall be based on the violat ion that carries the more severe sanction, including the application of Aggravating Circumstances . |
Results in al l Competitions dating back to the earlier anti-doping rule violation will be Disqualified as provided in Article 10.10.54 10.9.3.2 If the IOF establishes that an Athlete or other Person committed an additional anti -doping rule violation prior to notification, and that the additional violation occurred twelve ( 12) months or more before or after the first -noticed violation, then the period of Ineli gibility for the additional violation shal l be calculated as if the additional violation were a stand- alone first violation and this period of Ineligibility is served consecutively, rather than concurrently, with the period of Ineligibility imposed for the earlier -noticed violation. |
Where this Art icle 10.9.3.2 applies, the violations taken together shall constitute a single violation for purposes of Article 10.9.1. |
54 [Comment to Article 10.9.3.1: The same rule applies where, after the imposition of a sanction, the IOF discovers facts involving an anti -doping rule violation that occurred prior to notification for a first anti -doping rule violation – e.g., the IOF shall impose a sanction based on the sanction that could have been imposed if the two (2) violations had been adjudicated at the same time, including the application of Aggravating Circumstances.] |
IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 39 of 66 10.9.3.3 If the IOF establishes that an Athlete or other Person committed a violation of A rticle 2.5 in connection with the Doping Control process for an underlying asserted anti -doping rule violation, the violation of Article 2.5 shall be treated as a stand- alone first violation and the period of Ineligibility for such violation shall be served consecutively, rather than concurrently, with the period of Ineligibility , if any, imposed for the underlying anti -doping rule violation. |
Where this Article 10.9.3.3 is applied, the violations taken together shall consti tute a single violation for purpos es of Article 10.9.1. |
10.9.3.4 If the IOF establishes that an Athlete or other Person has committed a second or third anti -doping rule violation during a period of Ineligibility , the periods of Ineligibility for the multipl e violations shall run consecutively, rather than concurrently. |
10.9.4 Multiple Anti -Doping Rule Violations during Ten -Year Period For purposes of Article 10.9, each anti -doping rule violation must take place within the same ten-year period in order to be considered multiple violat ions. |
10.10 Disqualification of Results in Competitions Subsequent to Sample Collection or Commission of an Anti -Doping Rule Violation In addition to the automatic Disqualification of the results in the Competition which produced the positive Sample under Article 9, all other competitive results of the Athlete obtained from the date a positive Sample was collected (whether In -Competition or Out-of-Competition ), or other anti -doping rule violation occurred, through t he commencement of any Provisional Suspension or Ineligibility period, shall, unless fairness requires otherwise, be Disqualified with all of the resulting Consequences including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes.55 10.11 Forfeited Prize Money If the IOF recovers prize money forfeited as a result of an anti -doping rule violation, it shall take reasonable measures to allocate and distribute this prize money to the Athletes who would have been entitled to it had the forfeiting Athlete not competed.56 10.12 Financial Consequences 10.12. |
1 Where an Athlete or other Person commits an anti -doping rule violation, the IOF may, in its discretion and subject to the principle of proportionality, elect to (a) recover from the Athlete or other Person costs associated with the anti -doping rule violation, regardless of the period of Ineligibility imposed and/or ( b) fine the Athlet e or other Person in an amount up to 1000 Euros , only in cases where the maximum period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable has already been imposed. |
55 [Comment to Article 10.10: Nothing in these Anti -Doping Rules precludes clean Athletes or other Persons who have been damaged by the actions of a Person who has committed an anti -doping rule violation from pursuing any right which they would otherwise have to seek damages from such Person.] |
56 [Comment to Article 10.11: This Article is not intended to impose an affirmative duty on the IOF to take any action to collect forfeited prize money. |
If the IOF elects not to take any action to collect forfeited prize money, it may assign its right to recover such money to the Athlete(s) who should have otherwise received the money. |
“Reasonable measures to allocate and distribute this prize money” could include u sing collected forfeited prize money as agreed upon by the IOF and its Athletes.] |
IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 40 of 66 10.12.2 The imposit ion of a financial sanction or t he IOF 's recovery of costs shall not be considered a basis for reducing the Ineligibility or other sanction which would otherwise be applicable under these Anti -Doping Rules. |
10.13 Commencement of Ineligibility Period Where an Athlete is already serving a period of Ineligibility for an anti -doping rule violation, any new period of Ineligibility shall commence on the first day after the current period of Ineligibility has been served. |
Otherwise, except as provided below, the period of Ineligibility shall start on the date of the final hearing decision providing for Ineligibility or, if the hearing is waived or there is no hearing, on the date Ineligibility is accepted or otherwise imposed. |
10.13.1 Delays Not Attributable to the Athlete or other Person Where there have been substantial delays in the hearing process or other aspects of Doping Control , and the Athlete or other Person can establish that such delays are not attributable to the Athlete or other Person, the IOF or the Hearing Panel , if applicable, may start the period of Ineligibility at an earlier date commencing as early as the date of Sample collection or the date on which another anti -doping rule violation last occurred. |
All competitive results achieved during the period of Ineligibility , including retroactive Ineligibility , shall be Disqualified.57 10.13.2 Credit for Provisional Suspension or Period of Ineligibility Served 10.13.2.1 If a Provisional Suspension is respected by the Athlete or other Person, t hen the Athlete or other Person shall receive a credit for such period of Provisional Suspension against any period of Ineligibility which may ultimately be imposed. |
If the Athlete or other Person does not respect a Provisional Suspension , then the Athlete or other Person shall receive no credit for any period of Provisional Suspension served. |
If a p eriod of Ineligibility is served pursuant to a decision that is subsequently appealed, then the Athlete or other Person shall receive a credit for such period of Ineligibility served against any period of Ineligibility which may ultimately be imposed on appeal. |
10.13.2.2 If an Athlete or other Person voluntarily accepts a Provisional Suspension in writing from t he IOF and thereafter respects the Provisional Sus pension, the Athlete or other Person shall receive a credit for such period of voluntary Provisional Suspension against any period of Ineligibility which may ultimately be imposed. |
A copy of the Athlete or other Person’s voluntary acceptance of a Provision al Suspension shall be provided promptly to each party entitled to receive notice of an asserted anti -doping rule violation under Article 14.1.58 57 [Comment to Article 10.13.1: In cases of anti -doping rule violations other than under Article 2.1, the time required for an Anti -Doping Organization to discover and devel op facts sufficient to establish an anti -doping rule violation may be lengthy, particularly where the Athlete or other Person has taken affirmative action to avoid detection. |
In these c ircumstances, the flexibility provided in this Article to start the sanction at an earlier date should not be used.] |
58 [Comment to Article 10.13.2.2: An Athlete’s voluntary acceptance of a Provisional Suspension is not an admission by the Athlete and shall not be used in any way to draw an adverse inference against the Athl ete.] |
IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 41 of 66 10.13.2.3 No credit against a period of Ineligibility shall be given for any time period before the effective date of the Provisional Suspension or voluntary Provisional Suspension regardless of whether the Athlete elected not to compete or was suspended by a team. |
10.14 Status During Ineligibility or Provisional Suspension 10.14.1 Prohibition Against Particip ation During Ineligibility or Provisional Suspension No Athlete or other Person who has been declared Ineligible or is subject to a Provisional Suspension may, during a period of Ineligibility or Provisional Suspension, participate in any capacity in a Competition or activity (other than authorized anti -doping Education or rehabilitation programs) authorized or organized by any Signatory , Signatory's member organization, or a club or other member organization of a Signatory’s member organization, or in Co mpetitions authorized or organized by any professional league or any international - or national -level Event organization or any elite or national -level sporting activity funded by a governmental agency. |
An Athlete or other Person subject to a period of In eligibility longer than four (4) years may, after completing four (4) years of the period of Ineligibility , participate as an Athlete in local sport events not sanctioned or otherwise under the authority of a C ode Signatory or member of a Code Signatory , but only so long as the local sport event is not at a level that could otherwise qualify such Athlete or other Person directly or indirectly to compete in (or accumulate points toward) a national championship or International Event , and does not involve the Athlete or other Person working in any capacity with Protected Persons . |
An Athlete or other Person subject to a period of Ineligibility shall remain subject to Testing and any requirement by t he IOF to provide whereabouts information.59 10.14.2 Return t o Training As an exception to Article 10.14.1, an Athlete may return to train with a team or to use the facilities of a club or other member organization of t he IOF ’s or other Signatory’s member organization during the shorter of: (1) the last two months of the Athlete’s period of Ineligibility , or (2) the last one- quarter of the period of Ineligibility imposed.60 10.14.3 Violation of the Prohibition of Participation During Ineligibility or Provisional Suspension 59 [Comment to Article 10.14.1: For example, subject to Article 10.14.2 below, Ineligible Athletes cannot participate in a training camp, exhibition or practice organized by thei r National Federation or a club which is a member of that National Federation or which is funded by a governmental agency. |
Further, an Ineligible Athlete may not compete in a non- Signatory professional league (e.g., the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, etc. |
), Events organized by a non- Signatory International Event organization or a non- Signatory national -level Event organization without triggering the Consequences set forth in Article 10.14.3. |
The term “activity” also includes, f or example, administrative activities, such as serving as an official, director, officer, employee, or volunteer of the organization described in this Article. |
Ineligibility imposed in one sport shall also be recognized by other sports (see Article 15.1, A utomatic Binding Effect of Decisions). |
An Athlete or other Person serving a period of Ineligibility is prohibited from coaching or serving as an Athlete Support Person in any other capacity at any time during the period of Ineligibility, and doing so could also result in a violation of Article 2.10 by another Athlete. |
Any performance standard accomplished during a period of Ineligibility shall not be recognized by the IOF or its National Federations for any purpose.] |
60 [Comment to Article 10.14.2: In many Team Sports and some individual sports (e.g., ski jumping and gymnastics), Athletes cannot effectively train on their own so as to be ready to compete at the end of the Athlete’s period of Ineligibility. |
During the t raining period described in this Articl e, an Ineligible Athlete may not compete or engage in any acti vity described in Article 10.14.1 other than training.] |
IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 42 of 66 Where an Athlete or other Person who has been declared Ineligible violates the prohibition against participation during Ineligibility described in Article 10.14.1, the results of such participation shall be Disqualified and a new period of Ineligibility equal in length to the original period of In eligibility shall be added to the end of the original period of Ineligibility . |
The new period of Ineligibility , including a reprimand and no period of Ineligibility , may be adjusted based on the Athlete or other Person’s degree of Fault and other circumstances of the case. |
The determination of whether an Athlete or other Person has violated the prohibition against participation, and whether an adjustment is appropriate, shall be made by the Anti-Doping Organization whose Results Management led to the imposi tion of the initial period of Ineligibility . |
This decision may be appealed under Article 13. |
An Athlete or other Person who violates the prohibition against participation during a Provisional Suspension described in Article 10.14.1 shall receive no credit for any period of Provisional Suspension served and the results of such participation shall be Disqualified . |
Where an Athlete Support Person or other Person assists a Person in violating the prohibition against participation during Ineligibility or a Provisional Suspension, the IOF shall impose sanctions for a violation of Article 2.9 for such assistance. |
10.14.4 Withholding of Financial Support during Ineligibility In addition, for any anti -doping rule violation not involving a reduced sanction as des cribed in Article 10.5 or 10.6, some or all sport -related financial support or other sport -related benefits received by such Person will be withheld by t he IOF and its National Federations . |
10.15 Automatic Publication of Sanction A mandatory part of each sanction shall include automatic publication, as provided in Article 14.3. |
ARTICLE 11 CONSEQUENCES TO TEAMS 11.1 Testing of Teams Where one (1) member of a team (outside of Team Sports ) has been notified of an anti -doping rule violation under Article 7 in connection with an Event , the ruling body for the Event shall conduct appropriate Target Testing of all members of the team during the Event Period. |
11.2 Consequences for Teams 11.2. |
1 An anti -doping rule violation committed by a member of a team in connection with an In-Competition test automatically leads to Disqualification of the result obtained by the team in that Competition, with all resulting Consequences for the team and its members, including forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes. |
11.2.2 An anti -doping rule violation committed by a member of a team occurring during or in connection with an Event may lead to Disqualification of all of the results obtained by the team in that Event with all Consequences for the team and its members, inc luding forfeiture of all medals, points and prizes, except as provided in Article 11.2.3. |
11.2.3 Where an Athlete who is a member of a team committed an anti-doping rule violation during or in connection with one (1) Competition in an Event, if the other member(s) of the team establish(es) that he or she/they bear(s) No Fault or IOF Anti-Doping Rules Page 43 of 66 Negligence for that violation, the results of the team in any other Competition(s) in that Event shall not be Disqualified unless the results of the team in the Competition(s) other than the Competition in which the anti -doping rule violation occurred were likely to have been affected by the Athlete's anti-doping rule violation. |
ARTICLE 12 SANCTIONS BY The IOF AGAINST OTHER SPORTING BODIES When the IOF becomes aware that a Natio nal Federation has failed to comply with, implement, uphold, and enforce these Anti -Doping Rules within that organization’s or body’s area of competence, t he IOF has the authority and may take the following additional disciplinary actions: 12.1 Exclude all, or some group of, member s of that National Federation from specified future Events or all Events conducted within a specified period of time. |

Such decisions shall remain in effect while under appeal unless the appellate body orders otherwise. |
13.1.1 Scope of Review Not Limited The scope of review on appeal includes all issues relevant to the matter and is expressly not limited to the issues or scope of review before the initial decision maker. |
Any party to the appeal may submit evidence, legal arguments and claims that were not rai sed in the first instance hearing so long as they arise from the same cause of action or same general facts or circumstances raised or addressed in the first instance hearing.62 13.1.2 CAS Shall Not Defer to the Findings Being Appealed In making its dec ision, CAS shall not give deference to the discretion exercised by the body whose decision is being appealed.63 13.1.3 WADA Not Required to Exhaust Internal Remedies Where WADA has a right to appeal under Article 13 and no other party has appealed a final decision within the IOF ’s process, WADA may appeal such decision directly to CAS without having to ex haust other remedies in t he IOF ’s process.64 13.2 Appeals from Decisions Regarding Anti-Doping Rule Violations, Consequences, Provisional Suspensions, Implementation of Decisions and Authority A decision that an anti -doping rule violation was committed, a decision imposing Consequences or not imposing Consequences for an anti -doping rule violation, or a decision that no anti -doping rule violation was committed; a decision that an anti -doping rul e violation proceeding cannot go forward for procedural reasons (including, for example, prescription); a decision by WADA not to grant an exception to the six -months notice requirement for a retired Athlete to return to c ompetition under Article 5. |
