15.1.1.4 A decision by any of the above -described bodies to Disqualify results under Article 10.10 for a specified period automatically Disqualifies all results obtained within the authority of any Signatory during the specified period. |
15.1.2 ITTF and its Member Association s shall recognize and implement a decision and i ts effects as required by Article 15.1.1, without any further action required, on the earlier of the date ITTF receives actual notice of the decision or the date the decision is placed into ADAMS . |

70 [Comment to Article 15.1.4: By way of example, where the rules of the Major Event Organization give the Athlete or other Person the option of choosing an expedited CAS appeal or a CAS appeal under normal CAS procedure, the final decision or adjudication by the Major Event Organization is binding on other Signatori... |
71 [Comment to Articles 15.1 and 15.2: Anti -Doping Organization decisions under Article 15.1 are implemented automatically by other Signatories without the requirement of any decision or further action on the Signatories’ part. |
For example, when a National Anti- Doping Organization decides to Provisionally Suspend an Athlete, that decision is given automatic effect at the International Federation level. |
To be clear, the “decision” is the one made by the National Anti -Doping Organization, there is not a separ ate decision to be made by the International Federation. |
Thus, any claim by the Athlete that the Provisional Suspension was improperly imposed can only be asserted against the National Anti -Doping Organization. |
Implementation of Anti-Doping Organizations’ decisions under Article 15.2 is subject to each Signatory’s discretion. |
A Signatory’s implementation of a decision under Article 15.1 or Article 15.2 is not appealable separately from any appeal of the underlyin g decision. |
The extent of recognition of TUE decisions of other Anti -Doping Organizations shall be determined by Article 4.4 and the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions.] |

For example, if in a process consistent with the Code a non -Signatory has found an Athlete to have committed an anti -doping rule violation on account of the presence of a Prohibited Substance in the Athlete’s body but the period of Ineligibility applied is shorter than the period provided for in the Code, then ITTF ... |
ITTF or other Signatory’s implementation of a decision, or their decision not to implement a decision under Article 15.3, is appealable under Article 13.] |
