If WADA has not provided prior notice to the laboratory or Anti-Doping Organization before taking possession of a Sample or data , it shall provide such notice to the laboratory and each Anti-Doping Organization whose Samples or data have been taken by WADA within a reasonable time after taking possession. |
After analysis and any investigation of a seized Sample or data , WADA may direct another Anti-Doping Organization with authority to test the Athlete to assume Results Management responsibility for the Sample or data if a potential anti -doping rule violation is discovered. |
ARTICLE 7 RESULTS MANAGEMENT : RESPONSIBILITY, INITIAL REVIEW, NOTICE AND World Triathlon Anti -Doping Rules 2021 24 PROVISIONAL SUSPENSIONS Results Management under these Anti -Doping Rules establishes a process designed to resolve anti -doping rule violation matters in a fair, expeditious and efficient manner. |
7.1 Responsibility for Conducting Results Management 7.1.1 Except as otherwise provided in Articles 6.6, 6.8 and Code Article 7.1, Results Management shall be the responsibility of, and shall be governed by, the procedural rules of the Anti-Doping Organization that initiated and directed Sample collection (or, if no Sample collection is involved, the Anti-Doping Organization which first provides notice to an Athlete or other Person of a potential anti -doping rule violation and then diligently pursues that anti -doping rule violation). |
7.1.2 In circumstances where t he rules of a National Anti -Doping Organization do not give the National Anti -Doping Organization authority over an Athlete or other Person who is not a national, resident, license holder, or member of a sport organization of that country, or the National Anti -Doping Organization declines to exercise such authority, Results Management shall be conducted by the applicable International Federat ion or by a third party with authority over the Athlete or other Person as directed by the rules of the applicable International Federation. |
7.1.3 In the event the Major Event Organization assumes only limited Results Management responsibility relating to a Sample initiated and taken during an Event conducted by a Major Event Organization , or an anti -doping rule violation occurring during such Event , the case shall be referred by the Major Event Organization to the applicable International Federation for completion of Results Management . |
7.1.4 Results Management in relation to a potential whereabouts failure (a filing failure or a missed test) shall be administered by World Triathlon or the National Anti -Doping Organization with whom the Athlete in questio n files whereabouts information, as provided in the International Standard for Results Management . |
If World Triathlon determines a filing failure or a missed test, it shall submit that information to WADA through ADAMS , where it will be made available to other relevant Anti-Doping Organizations . |

A mandatory Provisional Suspension may be eliminated if: (i) the Athlete demonstrates to CAS ADD that the violation is likely to have involved a Contaminated Product , or (ii) the violation involves a Substance of Abuse and the Athlete establishes entitlement to a reduced period of Ineligibility under Article 10.2.4.1. |
CAS ADD’s decision not to eliminate a mandatory Provisional Suspension on account of the Athlete’s assertion regarding a Contaminated Product shall not be appealable. |
7.4.2 Optional Provisional Suspension Based on an Adverse Analytical Finding for Specified Substances , Specified Methods, Contaminated Products , or Other Anti -Doping Rule Violations World Triathlon may impose a Provisional Suspension for anti -doping rule violations not covered by Article 7.4.1 prior to the analysis of the Athlete’s B Sample or final hearing as described in Article 8. |
An optional Provisional Suspension may be lifted at th e discretion of World Triathlon at any time prior to CAS ADD’s decision under Article 8, unless provided otherwise in the International Standard for Results Management . |
7.4.3 Opportunity for Hearing or Appeal World Triathlon Anti -Doping Rules 2021 26 Notwithstanding Articles 7.4.1 and 7.4.2, a Provisional Suspension may not be imposed unless the Athlete or other Person is given: (a) an opportunity for a Provisional Hearing , either before or on a timely basis after imposition of the Provisional Suspension ; or (b) an opportunity for an expedited h earing in accordance with Article 8 on a timely basis after imposition of the Provisional Suspension. |
The imposition of a Provisional Suspension , or the decision not to impose a Provisional Suspension, may be appealed in an expedited process in accordance with Article 13.2. |
7.4.4 Voluntary Acceptance of Provisional Suspension Athletes on their own initiative may voluntarily accept a Provisional Suspension if done so prior to the later of: (i) the expiration of ten (10) days from the report of the B Sample (or waiver of the B Sample ) or ten (10) days from the notice of any other anti -doping rule violation, or (ii) the date on which the Athlete first competes after such report or notice. |
Other Persons on their own initiative may voluntarily accept a Provisional Suspension if done so within ten (10) days from the notice of the anti -doping rule violation. |
Upon such voluntary acceptance, the Provisional Suspension shall have the full effect and be treated in the same manner as if the Provisio nal Suspension had been imposed under Article 7.4.1 or 7.4.2; provided, however, at any time after voluntarily accepting a Provisional Suspension , the Athlete or other Person may withdraw such acceptance, in which event the Athlete or other Person shall no t receive any credit for time previously served during the Provisional Suspension . |
7.4.5 If a Provisional Suspension is imposed based on an A Sample Adverse Analytical Finding and a subsequent B Sample analysis (if requested by the Athlete or World Triathlon ) does not confirm the A Sample analysis, then the Athlete shall not be subject to any further Provisional Suspension on account of a violation of Article 2.1. |
In circumstances where the Athlete (or the Athlete's Team) has been removed from an Event based on a violation of Article 2.1 and the subsequent B Sample analysis does not confirm the A Sample finding, then, if it is still possible for the Athlete or Team to be reinserted, without otherwise affecting the Event , the Athlete or Team may continue to take part in the Event . |
7.5 Results Management Decisions Results Management decisions or adjudications by World Triathlon must not purport to be limited to a particular geographic area or the World Triathlon sport and shall address and determine without limitation the following issues: (i) whether an anti -doping rule violation was committed or a Provisional Su spension should be imposed, the factual basis for such determination, and the specific Articles that have been violated, and (ii) all Consequences flowing from the anti -doping rule violation(s), including applicable Disqualifications under Articles 9 and 1 0.10, any forfe iture of medals or prizes, any period of Ineligibility (and the date it begins to run) and any Financial Consequences . |
