The following Articles set forth the expectations of the Signatories.22.1 Each government will take all actions and measures necessary to comply with the uneSCo Convention.22.2 Each government will put in place legislation, regulation, policies or administrative practices for cooperation and sharing of information with anti-doping organizations and sharing of data among anti-doping organizations as provided in the Code .22.3 Each government will encourage cooperation between all of its public services or agencies and anti-doping organizations to timely share information with anti-doping organizations which would be useful in the fight against doping and where to do so would not otherwise be legally prohibited.22.4 Each government will respect arbitration as the preferred means of resolving doping-related disputes, subject to human and fundamental rights and applicable national law.22.5 Each government that does not have a national anti-doping organization in its country will work with its national olympic Committee to establish one.Roles and Responsibilities3 PARTWorld Anti-Doping Code • 201511722.6 Each go vernment will respect the autonomy of a nati onal anti-doping organization in its country and not interfere in its operational decisions and activities.22.7 A government should meet the expectations of Article 22.2 no later than 1 January 2016. |
The other sections of this Article should already have been met.22.8 Failure by a government to ratify, accept, approve or accede to the uneSCo Convention, or to comply with the uneSCo Convention thereafter may result in ineligibility to bid for events as provided in Articles 20.1.8, 20.3.11, and 20.6.6 and may result in additional consequences, e.g., forfeiture of offices and positions within Wada; ineligibility or non-admission of any candidature to hold any International event in a country, cancellation of International events; symbolic consequences and other consequences pursuant to the Olympic Charter. |
[Comment to Article 22: Most governments cannot be parties to, or be bound by, private non-governmental instruments such as the Code. |
For that reason, governments are not asked to be Signatories to the Code but rather to sign the Copenhagen Declaration and ratify, accept, approve or accede to the UNESCO Convention. |
Although the acceptance mechanisms may be different, the effort to combat doping through the coordinated and harmonized program reflected in the Code is very much a joint effort between the sport movement and governments.This Article sets forth what the Signatories clearly expect from governments. |
However, these are simply “expectations” since governments are only “obligated” to adhere to the requirements of the UNESCO Convention. |

They shall no longer be considered in compliance once acceptance has been withdrawn.ARTICLE 2 3 Ac ceptance, Compliance and ModificationAcceptance, Compliance, Modification and Interpretation4 PART[Comment to Article 23.2.2: Nothing in the Code precludes an Anti-Doping Organization from adopting and enforcing its own specific disciplinary rules for conduct by Athlete Support Personnel related to doping but which does not, in and of itself, constitute an anti-doping rule violation under the Code. |
For example, a National or International Federation could refuse to renew the license of a coach when multiple Athletes have committed anti-doping rule violations while under that coach’s supervision. |
