After an appellate decision under Article 13 or the expiration of time to appeal, World Triathlon may only suspend a part of the otherwise applicable Consequences with the approval of WADA . |
The extent to which the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility may be suspended shall be based on the seriousness of the anti -doping rule violation committed by the Athlete or other Person and the significance of the Substantial Assistance provided by the Athlete or other Person to the effort to eliminat e doping in sport, non -compliance with the Code and/or sport integrity violations. |

10.7.3 Application of Multiple Grounds for Reduction of a Sanction Where an Athlete or other Person establishes entitlement to reduction in sanction under more than one provision of Article 10.5, 10.6 or 10.7, before applying any reduction or suspension under Article 10.7, the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility shall be determined in accordanc e with Articles 10.2, 10.3, 10.5, and 10.6. |

In each case, however, where this Article is applied, the Athlete or other Person shall serve at least one -half of the agreed -upon period of Ineligibility going forward from the earlier of the date the Athlete or other Person accepted the imposition of a sanction or a Provisional Suspension which was subsequently respected by the Athlete or other Person . |
The decision by WADA and World Triathlon to enter or not enter into a case resolution agreement, and the amount of the reduction to, and the starting date of, the period of Ineligibility are not matters for determination or review by a hearing body and are not subject to appeal under Article 13. |
If so request ed by an Athlete or other Person who seeks to enter into a case resolution agreement under this Article, World Triathlon shall allow the Athlete or other Person to discuss an admission of the anti -doping rule violation with it subject to a Without Prejudic e Agreement . |

10.9.1.2 A third anti -doping rule violation will always result in a lifetime period of Ineligib ility, except if the third violation fulfills the condition for elimination or reduction of the period of Ineligibility under Article 10.5 or 10.6 , or involves a violation of Article 2.4. |
In these particular cases, the period of Ineligibility shall be from eight (8) years to lifetime Ineligibility . |
World Triathlon Anti -Doping Rules 2021 37 10.9.1.3 The period of Ineligibility established in Articles 10.9.1.1 and 10.9.1.2 may then be further reduced by the application of Article 10.7. |
10.9.2 An anti -doping rule violation for which an Athlete or other Person has established No Fault or Negligence shall not be considered a violation for purposes of this Article 10.9. |

10.9.3 Additional Rules for Certain Pot ential Multiple Violations 10.9.3.1 For purposes of imposing sanctions under Article 10.9, except as provided in Articles 10.9.3.2 and 10.9.3.3, an anti -doping rule violation will only be considered a second violation if World Triathlon can establish tha t the Athlete or other Person committed the additional anti -doping rule violation after the Athlete or other Person received notice pursuant to Article 7, or after World Triathlon made reasonable efforts to give notice of the first anti -doping rule violati on. |
If World Triathlon cannot establish this, the violations shall be considered together as one single first violation, and the sanction imposed shall be based on the violation that carries the more severe sanction, including the application of Aggravatin g Circumstances . |
Results in all Competitions dating back to the earlier anti -doping rule violation will be Disqualified as provided in Article 10.10. |

Where this Art icle 10.9.3.2 applies, the violations taken together shall constitute a single violation for purposes of Article 10.9.1. |
10.9.3.3 If World Triathlon establishes that an Athlete or other Person committed a violation of Article 2.5 in connection with the Doping Control process for an underlying asserted anti -doping rule violation, the violation of Article 2.5 shall be treated as a stand -alone first violation and the period of Ineligibility for such violation shall be served consecutively, rather than concu rrently, with the period of Ineligibility , if any, imposed for the underlying anti -doping rule violation. |
