This provision permits a full hearing for all parties.] |
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 the WKF to render a decision before WADA may intervene by appealing directly to CAS . |
