However, pre-Code anti-doping rule violations would continue to count as "First violations" or "Second violations"for purposes of determining sanctions under Article 10 for subsequent post-Code violations.AD-23.7The Purpose, Scope and Organization of the World Anti-Doping Program and the Code and Appendix 1, Definitions, andAppendix 2, Examples of the Application of Article 10, shall be considered integral parts of the Code.AD-24Final ProvisionsAD-24.1Where the term “days” is used in these Anti-Doping Rules, it shall mean calendar days unless otherwise specified.AD-24.2These Anti-Doping Rules shall be interpreted as an independent and autonomous text and not by reference to existing law orstatutes.AD-24.3These Anti-Doping Rules have been adopted pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Code and the International Standardsand shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with applicable provisions of the Code and the International Standards.The Code and the International Standards shall be considered integral parts of these Anti-Doping Rules and shall prevail incase of conflict.AD-24.4The Introduction and Appendix 1 shall be considered integral parts of these Anti-Doping Rules.AD-24.5The comments (see Appendix 2) annotating various provisions of these Anti-Doping Rules shall be used to interpret these Anti-Doping Rules.AD-24.6These Anti-Doping Rules shall enter into force on 1 January 2021 (the “Effective Date”). |
They repeal World Archery’s Anti-Doping Rules that came into effect on 1 January 2015.AD-24.7These Anti-Doping Rules shall not apply retroactively to matters pending before the Effective Date. |
However:AD-24.7.1Anti-doping rule violations taking place prior to the Effective Date count as "first violations" or "second violations"for purposes of determining sanctions under Article 10 for violations taking place after the Effective Date.AD-24.7.2Any anti-doping rule violation case which is pending as of the Effective Date and any anti-doping rule violation casebrought after the Effective Date based on an anti-doping rule violation which occurred prior to the Effective Date,shall be governed by the substantive anti-doping rules in effect at the time the alleged anti-doping rule violationoccurred, and not by the substantive anti-doping rules set out in these Anti-Doping Rules, unless the panel hearingthe case determines the principle of “lex mitior” appropriately applies under the circumstances of the case. |
For thesepurposes, the retrospective periods in which prior violations can be considered for purposes of multiple violationsunder Article 10.9.4 and the statute of limitations set forth in Article 16 are procedural rules, not substantive rules,and should be applied retroactively along with all of the other procedural rules in these Anti-Doping Rules(provided, however, that Article 16 shall only be applied retroactively if the statute of limitations period has notalready expired by the Effective Date).AD-24.7.3Any Article 2.4 whereabouts failure (whether a filing failure or a missed test, as those terms are defined in theInternational Standard for Results Management) prior to the Effective Date shall be carried forward and may berelied upon, prior to expiry, in accordance with the International Standard for Results Management, but it shall bedeemed to have expired twelve (12) months after it occurred.AD-24.7.4With respect to cases where a final decision finding an anti-doping rule violation has been rendered prior to theEffective Date, but the Athlete or other Person is still serving the period of Ineligibility as of the Effective Date, theAthlete or other Person may apply to World Archery or other Anti-Doping Organization which had ResultsManagement responsibility for the anti-doping rule violation to consider a reduction in the period of Ineligibility inlight of these Anti-Doping Rules. |
Such application must be made before the period of Ineligibility has expired. |
Thedecision rendered may be appealed pursuant to Article 13.2. |
These Anti-Doping Rules shall have no application toany case where a final decision finding an anti-doping rule violation has been rendered and the period of Ineligibilityhas expired.AD-24.7.5For purposes of assessing the period of Ineligibility for a second violation under Article 10.9.1, where the sanctionfor the first violation was determined based on rules in force prior to the Effective Date, the period of Ineligibilitywhich would have been assessed for that first violation had these Anti-Doping Rules been applicable, shall beapplied. |
*C74*AD-24.7.6Changes to the Prohibited List and Technical Documents relating to substances or methods on the Prohibited Listshall not, unless they specifically provide otherwise, be applied retroactively. |
As an exception, however, when aProhibited Substance or a Prohibited Method has been removed from the Prohibited List, an Athlete or other Personcurrently serving a period of Ineligibility on account of the formerly Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method mayapply to World Archery or other Anti-Doping Organization which had Results Management responsibility for theanti-doping rule violation to consider a reduction in the period of Ineligibility in light of the removal of the substanceor method from the Prohibited List.Appendix AD-1Version 2021-01-05 17:15:34 Page 29 / 39DefinitionsADAMS: The Anti-Doping Administration and Management System is a Web-based database management tool for data entry,storage, sharing, and reporting designed to assist stakeholders and WADA in their anti-doping operations in conjunction with dataprotection legislation.Administration: Providing, supplying, supervising, facilitating, or otherwise participating in the Use or Attempted Use by anotherPerson of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method. |

In assessing the Athlete’s or other Person’s degree of Fault, the circumstances considered must be specificand relevant to explain the Athlete’s or other Person’s departure from the expected standard of behavior. |
Thus, for example, the factthat an Athlete would lose the opportunity to earn large sums of money during a period of Ineligibility, or the fact that the Athlete onlyhas a short time left in a career, or the timing of the sporting calendar, would not be relevant factors to be considered in reducing theperiod of Ineligibility under Article 10.6.1 or 10.6.2.Financial Consequences: See Consequences of Anti-Doping Rule Violations above.In-Competition: The period commencing at 11:59 p.m. on the day before a Competition in which the Athlete is scheduled toparticipate through the end of such Competition and the Sample collection process related to such CompetitionIndependent Observer Program: A team of observers and/or auditors, under the supervision of WADA, who observe and provideguidance on the Doping Control process prior to or during certain Events and report on their observations as part of WADA’scompliance monitoring program.Individual Sport: Any sport that is not a Team Sport.Ineligibility: See Consequences of Anti-Doping Rule Violations above.Institutional Independence: Hearing panels on appeal shall be fully independent institutionally from the Anti-Doping Organizationresponsible for Results Management. |

*C1* [Comment: Where the Code requires a Person other than an Athlete or Athlete Support Person to be bound by the Code, suchPerson would of course not be subject to Sample collection or Testing, and would not be charged with an anti-doping rule violationunder the Code for Use or Possession of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method. |
Rather, such Person would only be subject todiscipline for a violation of Code Articles 2.5 (Tampering), 2.7 (Trafficking), 2.8 (Administration), 2.9 (Complicity), 2.10 (ProhibitedAssociation) and 2.11 (Retaliation). |
Furthermore, such Person would be subject to the additional roles and responsibilities accordingto Code Article 21.3. |
Also, the obligation to require an employee to be bound by the Code is subject to applicable law. |
World Archeryshall ensure that, as per Article 19 of these Anti-Doping Rules, any arrangements with their board members, directors, officers, andspecified employees, as well as with the Delegated Third Parties and their employees – either employment, contractual or otherwise –Version 2021-01-05 17:15:34 Page 33 / 39have explicit provisions incorporated according to which such Persons are bound by, agree to comply with these Anti-Doping Rules,and agree on the World Archery’s authority to solve the anti-doping cases. |
]*C2* [Comment to Article 2.1.1: An anti-doping rule violation is committed under this Article without regard to an Athlete’s Fault.This rule has been referred to in various CAS decisions as “Strict Liability”. |
An Athlete’s Fault is taken into consideration indetermining the Consequences of this anti-doping rule violation under Article 10. |
This principle has consistently been upheld byCAS. |
]*C3* [Comment to Article 2.1.2: The Anti-Doping Organization with Results Management responsibility may, at its discretion,choose to have the B Sample analyzed even if the Athlete does not request the analysis of the B Sample. |
]*C4* [Comment to Article 2.2: It has always been the case that Use or Attempted Use of a Prohibited Substance or ProhibitedMethod may be established by any reliable means. |
As noted in the Comment to Article 3.2, unlike the proof required to establish ananti-doping rule violation under Article 2.1, Use or Attempted Use may also be established by other reliable means such asadmissions by the Athlete, witness statements, documentary evidence, conclusions drawn from longitudinal profiling, including datacollected as part of the Athlete Biological Passport, or other analytical information which does not otherwise satisfy all therequirements to establish “Presence” of a Prohibited Substance under Article 2.1. |
For example, Use may be established based uponreliable analytical data from the analysis of an A Sample (without confirmation from an analysis of a B Sample) or from the analysisof a B Sample alone where the Anti-Doping Organization provides a satisfactory explanation for the lack of confirmation in the otherSample. |
]*C5* [Comment to Article 2.2.2: Demonstrating the "Attempted Use" of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method requiresproof of intent on the Athlete’s part. |
The fact that intent may be required to prove this particular anti-doping rule violation does notundermine the Strict Liability principle established for violations of Article 2.1 and violations of Article 2.2 in respect of Use of aProhibited Substance or Prohibited Method. |
An Athlete’s Use of a Prohibited Substance constitutes an anti-doping rule violationunless such substance is not prohibited Out-of-Competition and the Athlete’s Use takes place Out-of-Competition. |
(However, thepresence of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in a Sample collected In-Competition is a violation of Article 2.1regardless of when that substance might have been administered. |
)]*C6* [Comment to Article 2.3: .For example, it would be an anti-doping rule violation of “evading Sample collection” if it wereestablished that an Athlete was deliberately avoiding a Doping Control official to evade notification or Testing. |
A violation of “failingto submit to Sample collection” may be based on either intentional or negligent conduct of the Athlete, while “evading” or “refusing”Sample collection contemplates intentional conduct by the Athlete. |
]*C7* [Comment to Articles 2.6.1 and 2.6.2: Acceptable justification would not include, for example, buying or Possessing aProhibited Substance for purposes of giving it to a friend or relative, except under justifiable medical circumstances where thatPerson had a physician’s prescription, e.g., buying Insulin for a diabetic child.] |
[Comment to Article 2.6.1 and 2.6.2: Acceptablejustification may include, for example, (a) an Athlete or a team doctor carrying Prohibited Substances or Prohibited Methods fordealing with acute and emergency situations (e.g., an epinephrine auto-injector), or (b) an Athlete Possessing a Prohibited Substanceor Prohibited Method for therapeutic reasons shortly prior to applying for and receiving a determination on a TUE. |
]*C8* [Comment to Article 2.9: Complicity or Attempted Complicity may include either physical or psychological assistance. |
]*C9* [Comment to Article 2.10: Athletes and other Persons must not work with coaches, trainers, physicians or other Athlete SupportPersonnel who are Ineligible on account of an anti-doping rule violation or who have been criminally convicted or professionallydisciplined in relation to doping. |
This also prohibits association with any other Athlete who is acting as a coach or Athlete SupportPerson while serving a period of Ineligibility. |
Some examples of the types of association which are prohibited include: obtainingtraining, strategy, technique, nutrition or medical advice; obtaining therapy, treatment or prescriptions; providing any bodilyproducts for analysis; or allowing the Athlete Support Person to serve as an agent or representative. |
Prohibited association need notinvolve any form of compensation. |
While Article 2.10 does not require the Anti-Doping Organization to notify the Athlete or otherPerson about the Athlete Support Person’s disqualifying status, such notice, if provided, would be important evidence to establishthat the Athlete or other Person knew about the disqualifying status of the Athlete Support Person. |
]*C10* [Comment to Article 2.11.2: This Article is intended to protect Persons who make good faith reports, and does not protectPersons who knowingly make false reports.] |
[Comment to Article 2.11.2: Retaliation would include, for example, actions that threatenthe physical or mental well-being or economic interests of the reporting Persons, their families or associates. |
Retaliation would notinclude an Anti-Doping Organization asserting in good faith an anti-doping rule violation against the reporting Person. |
For purposesof Article 2.11, a report is not made in good faith where the Person making the report knows the report to be false. |
]*C11* [Comment to Article 3.1: This standard of proof required to be met by World Archery is comparable to the standard which isapplied in most countries to cases involving professional misconduct. |
]*C12* [Comment to Article 3.2: For example, World Archery may establish an anti-doping rule violation under Article 2.2 based onthe Athlete’s admissions, the credible testimony of third Persons, reliable documentary evidence, reliable analytical data from eitheran A or B Sample as provided in the Comments to Article 2.2, or conclusions drawn from the profile of a series of the Athlete’s bloodor urine Samples, such as data from the Athlete Biological Passport. |
]*C13* [Comment to Article 3.2.1: For certain Prohibited Substances, WADA may instruct WADA-accredited laboratories not toreport Samples as an Adverse Analytical Finding if the estimated concentration of the Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites orMarkers is below a Minimum Reporting Level. |
WADA’s decision in determining that Minimum Reporting Level or in determiningwhich Prohibited Substances should be subject to Minimum Reporting Levels shall not be subject to challenge. |
Further, thelaboratory’s estimated concentration of such Prohibited Substance in a Sample may only be an estimate. |
In no event shall thepossibility that the exact concentration of the Prohibited Substance in the Sample may be below the Minimum Reporting Levelconstitute a defense to an anti-doping rule violation based on the presence of that Prohibited Substance in the Sample. |
]*C14* [Comment to Article 3.2.2: The burden is on the Athlete or other Person to establish, by a balance of probability, a departurefrom the International Standard for Laboratories that could reasonably have caused the Adverse Analytical Finding. |
Thus, once theAthlete or other Person establishes the departure by a balance of probability, the Athlete or other Person’s burden on causation is thesomewhat lower standard of proof – “could reasonably have caused.” If the Athlete or other Person satisfies these standards, theburden shifts to World Archery to prove to the comfortable satisfaction of the hearing panel that the departure did not cause theAdverse Analytical Finding. |
]Version 2021-01-05 17:15:34 Page 34 / 39*C15* [Comment to Article 3.2.3: Departures from an International Standard or other rule unrelated to Sample collection orhandling, Adverse Passport Finding, or Athlete notification relating to whereabouts failure or B Sample opening – e.g., theInternational Standard for Education, International Standard for the Protection of Privacy and Personal Information or InternationalStandard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions – may result in compliance proceedings by WADA but are not a defense in an anti-dopingrule violation proceeding and are not relevant on the issue of whether the Athlete committed an anti-doping rule violation. |
Similarly,World Archery’s violation of the document referenced in Article 20.7.7 of the Code shall not constitute a defense to an anti-dopingrule violation. |
]*C16* [Comment to Article 3.2.3 (iii): World Archery would meet its burden to establish that such departure did not cause theAdverse Analytical Finding by showing that, for example, the B Sample opening and analysis were observed by an independentwitness and no irregularities were observed. |
]*C17* [Comment to Article 4.1: The current Prohibited List is available on WADA's website at https://www.wada-ama.org. |
TheProhibited List will be revised and published on an expedited basis whenever the need arises. |
However, for the sake of predictability,a new Prohibited List will be published every year whether or not changes have been made. |
]*C18* [Comment to Article 4.2.1: Out-of-Competition Use of a substance which is only prohibited In-Competition is not an anti-doping rule violation unless an Adverse Analytical Finding for the substance or its Metabolites or Markers is reported for a Samplecollected In-Competition. |
]*C19* [Comment to Article 4.2.2: The Specified Substances and Methods identified in Article 4.2.2 should not in any way beconsidered less important or less dangerous than other doping substances or methods. |
Rather, they are simply substances andmethods which are more likely to have been consumed or used by an Athlete for a purpose other than the enhancement of sportperformance. |
]*C20* [Comment to Article 4.4.3: If World Archery refuses to recognize a TUE granted by a National Anti-Doping Organization onlybecause medical records or other information are missing that are needed to demonstrate satisfaction with the criteria in theInternational Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions, the matter should not be referred to WADA. |
Instead, the file should becompleted and re-submitted to World Archery.] |
Comment to Article 4.4.3: World Archery may agree with a National Anti-DopingOrganization that the National Anti-Doping Organization will consider TUE applications on behalf of World Archery. |
