23.5 Where the term “days” is used in the Code or an International Standard , it shall mean calendar days unless otherwise specified. |
23.6 The Code shall not apply retroactively to matters pending before the date the Code is accepted by a Signatory and implemented in its rules. |
However, pre -Code anti-doping rule violations would continue to count as "First v iolations" or "Second violations" for purposes of determining sanctions under Article 10 for subsequent post -Code violations. |
23.7 The Purpose, Scope and Organization of the World Anti -Doping Program and the Code and Appendix 1, Definitions , and Appendix 2, Examples of the Application of Article 10, shall be considered integral parts of the Code . |

24.7 These Anti -Doping Rules shall not apply retroactively to matters pending before the Effective Date . |
However: 24.7.1 Anti-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. |

For these purposes, the retrospective periods in WBF 2021 Anti -Doping Rules Page 59 of 67 which prior violations can be considered for purposes of multiple violations under Article 10.9.4 and the statute of limitations set forth in Articl e 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 1 6 shall only be applied retroactively if the statute of limitati on period has not already expired by the Effective Date). |

Such application must be made before the period of Ineligibil ity has expired. |
The decision rendered may be appealed pursuant to Article 13.2. |
These Anti -Doping Rules shall have no application to any case where a final decision finding an anti -doping rule violation has been rendered and the period of Ineligibility has expired. |
24.7.5 For purposes of assessing the period of Ineligibility for a second violation under Article 10.9.1, where the sanction for the first violation was determined based on rules in force prior to the Effective Date, the period of Ineligibili ty which would have been assessed for that first violation had these Anti -Doping Rules been applicable, shall be applied .74 24.7.6 Changes to the Prohibited List and Technical Documents relating to substances or methods on the Prohibited List shall not, u nless they specifically provide otherwise, be applied retroactively. |
As an exception, however, when a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method has been removed from the Prohibited List , an Athlete or other Person currently serving a period of Ineligibil ity on account of the formerly Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method may apply to WBF or other Anti-Doping Organization which had Results Management responsibility for the anti -doping rule violation to consider a reduction in the period of Ineligibilit y in light of the removal of the substance or method from the Prohibited List . |
