If the CAS hearing panel determines that an anti -doping rule violation was committed and that WADA acted reasonably in electing to 65 [Comment to Article 13.2.4: This provision is necessary because since 2011, CAS rules no longer permit an Athlete the right t o cross appeal when an Anti -Doping Organization appeals a decision after the Athlete’s time for appeal has expired. |
This provision permits a full hearing for all parties.] |
IWWF Anti -Doping Rules 2021 Page 61 of 88 Pages appeal directly to CAS , then WADA’s costs and attorney fees in prosecuting the appeal shall be reimbursed to WADA by IWWF.66 13.4 Appeals Relating to TUEs TUE decisions may be appealed exclusively as provided in Article 4.4. |

66 [Comment to Article 13.3: Given the different circumstances of each anti -doping rule violation investigation and Results Management process , it is not feasible to establish a fixed time period for IWWF to render a decision before WADA may intervene by appealing directly to CAS. |
Before taking such action, however, WADA will consult wit h IWWF and give IWWF an opportunity to explain why it has not yet rendered a decision.] |

IWWF Anti -Doping Rules 2021 Page 68 of 88 Pages ARTICLE 15 IMPLEMENTATION OF DECISIONS 15.1 Automatic Binding Effect of Decisions by Signatory Anti- Doping Organizations 15.1.1 A decision of an anti -doping rule violation made by a Signatory Anti-Doping Organization, an appellate body (Article 13.2.2 of the Code) or CAS shall, after the parties to the proceeding are notified, automatically be binding beyond the parties to the proceeding upon IWWF and its National Federations , as well as every Signatory in every sport with the effects described below: 15.1.1.1 A decision by any of the above -described bodies imposing a Pr ovisional Suspe nsion (after a Provisional Hearing has occurred or the Athlete or other Person has either accepted the Provisional Suspension or has waived the right to a Provisional Hearing , expedited hearing or expedited appeal offered in accordance with Article 7.4.3) automatically prohibits the Athlete or other Person from participation (as described in Article 10.14.1) in all sports within the authority of any Signatory during the Provisional Suspension. |
15.1.1.2 A decision by any of the above -descri bed bodies imposing a period of Ineligibility (after a hearing has occurred or been waived) automatically prohibits the Athlete or other Person from participation (as described in Article 10.14.1) in all sports within the authority of any Signatory for the period of Ineligibility . |
15.1.1.3 A decision by any of the above -described bodies accepting an anti -doping rule violation automatically binds all Signatories . |
15.1.1.4 A decision by any of the above -described bodies to Disqualify results under Article 10.10 for a sp ecified period automatically Disqualifies all results obtained within the authority of any Signatory during the specified period. |
15.1.2 IWWF and its National Federations shall recognize and implement a decision and its effects as require d by Article 15.1.1, without any further action required, on the earlier of the date IWWF receives actual notice of the decision or the date the decision is placed into ADAMS . |
IWWF Anti -Doping Rules 2021 Page 69 of 88 Pages 15.1.3 A decision by an Anti -Doping Organization, a national appellate body o r CAS to suspend, or lift, Consequences shall be binding upon IWWF and its National Federations without any further action required, on the earlier of the date IWWF receives actual notice of the decision or the date the decision is placed into ADAMS . |
15.1.4 Notwithstanding any provision in Article 15.1.1, however, a decision of an anti -doping rule violation by a Major Event Organization made in an expedited process during an Event shall not be binding on IWWF or its National Federations unless the rules of the Major Ev ent Organization provide the Athlete or other Person with an opportunity to an appeal under non-expedited procedures.69 15.2 Implementation of Other Decisions by Anti -Doping Organizations IWWF and its National Federations may decide to implement other anti-doping decisions rendered by Anti -Doping Organizations not described in Article 15.1.1 above, such as a Provisional Suspension prior to a Provisional Hearing or acceptance by the Athlete or other Person .70 15.3 Implementation of Decisions by Body that i s not a Signatory An anti -doping decision by a body that is not a Signatory to the Code shall be implemented by IWWF and its National Federations , if IWWF finds that the decision purports to be within the authority of that body and the ant i-doping rules of that body are otherwise consistent with the Code.71 69 [Comment to Article 15.1.4: By way of exam ple, where the rules of the Major Event Organization give the Athlete or other Person the option of choosing an expedited CAS appeal or a CAS appeal under normal CAS procedure, the final decision or adjudication by the Major Event Organizati on is binding on other Signatories regardless of whether the Athlete or other Person chooses the expedited appeal option.] |
70 [Comment to Articles 15.1 and 15.2: Anti -Doping Organization decisions under Article 15.1 are implemented automatically by other Signatories wit hout the requirement of any decision or further action on the Signatories’ part. |
For example, when a National Anti - Doping Organization decides to Provisionally Suspend an Athlete, that decision is given automatic effect at the International Federation lev el. |
To be clear, the “decision” is the one made by the National Anti -Doping Organization, there is not a separate decision to be made by the International Federation. |
Thus, any claim by the Athlete that the Provisional Suspension was improperly imposed can only be asserted against the National Anti -Doping Organization. |
Implementation of Anti -Doping Organizations’ decisions under Article 15.2 is subject to each Signatory’s discretion. |
A Signatory’s implementation of a decision under Article 15.1 or Article 15.2 is not appealable separately from any appeal of the underlying decision. |
The extent of recognition of TUE decisions of other Anti -Doping Organizations shall be determined by Article 4.4 and the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions.] |
71 [Comment to Article 15.3: Where the decision of a body that has not accepted the Code is in some respects Code compliant and in other respects not Code compliant, IWWF, other Signatories and National Federations should attempt to apply the decision in harmony with the principles of the Code. |
For example, if in a process consistent with the Code a non- Signatory has found an Athlete to have committed an anti -doping rule violation on account of the presence of a Prohibited Substance in the At hlete’s body but the period of Ineligibility applied is shorter than the period provided for in the Code, then IWWF and all other Signatories should recognize the finding of an anti -doping rule violation and the Athlete’s National Anti -Doping Organization should conduct a hearing consistent with Article 8 to determine whether the longer period of Ineligibility provided in the Code should be imposed. |
IWWF or other Signatory’s implementation of a decision, or their decision not to implement a decision under Article 15.3, is appealable under Article 13.] |
IWWF Anti -Doping Rules 2021 Page 70 of 88 Pages ARTICLE 16 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS No anti -doping rule violation proceeding may be commenced against an Athlete or other Person unless he or she has been notified of the anti -doping rul e violation as provided in Article 7, or notification has been reasonably attempted, within ten (10) years from the date the violation is asserted to have occurred. |
