This provision permits a full hearing for all parties.]

67 [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 WT to render a decision before WADA may intervene by appealing directly to CAS.

Before taking such action, however, WADA will consult with WT and give WT an opportunity to explain why it has not yet rendered a decision.]

ARTICLE 15 IMPLEMENTATION OF DECISIONS 15.1 Automatic Binding Effect of Decisions by Signatory Anti-Doping Organizations 15.1.1 A decision of an anti -doping rule violation made by a Signatory Anti -Doping Organization , an appellate body (Article 13.2.2 of the Code ) or CAS shall, after the parties to the proceeding are notified, automatically be binding beyond the parties to the proc eeding upon WT and its MNA s, as well as every Signatory in every sport with the effects described below: 15.1.1.1 A decision by any of the above -described bodies imposing a Provisional Suspension (after a Provisional Hearing has occurred or the Athlete or other Person has either accepted the Provisional Suspension or has waived the right to a Provisional Hearing , expedited hearing or expedited appeal offered in accordance with Article 7.4.3) automatically prohibits the Athlet e or other Person from participation (as described in Article 10.14.1) in all sports within the authority of any Signatory during the Provisional Suspension .

15.1.1.2 A decision by any of the above -described bodies imposing a period of Ineligibility (after a hearing has occurred or been waived) automatically prohibits the Athlete or other Person from participation (as described in Article 10.14.1) in all sports within the authority of any Signatory for the period of Ineligibility .

WT 2021 Anti-Doping Rules 54 15.1.1.3 A decision by any of the above -described bodies accepting an anti -doping rule violation automatically binds all Signatories .

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 Disqu alifies all results obtained within the authority of any Signatory during the specified period.

15.1.2 WT and its MNA s shall recognize and implement a decision and its effects as required by Article 15.1.1, without any further action required, on the earlier of the date WT receives actual notice of the decision or the date the decision is placed into ADAMS .

15.1.3 A decision by an Anti-Doping Organization , a national appellate body or CAS to suspend, or lift, Consequences shall be binding upon WT and its MNA s without any further action required, on the earlier of the date WT receives actual notice of the decision or the date the decision is placed into ADAMS .

15.1.4 Notwithstanding any provision in Article 15.1.1, however, a decision of an anti -doping rule violation by a Major Event Organization made in an expedited process during an Event shall not be binding on WT or its MNA s unless the rules of the Major Event Organization provide the Athlete or other Person with an opportunity to an appeal under non -expedited procedures .70 15.2 Implementation of Other Decisions by Anti-Doping Organizat ions WT and its MNA s may decide to implement other anti -doping decisions rendered by Anti-Doping Organizations not described in Article 15.1.1 above, such as a Provisional Suspension prior to a Provisional Hearing or acceptance by the Athlete or other Person .71 15.3 Implementation of Decisions by Body that is not a Signatory An anti -doping decision by a body that is not a Signatory to the Code shall be implemented by WT and its MNA s, if WT finds that the decision purports to be within the authority of that body and the anti-doping rules of that body are otherwise consistent with the Code .72 70 [Comment to Article 15.1.4: By way of example, where the rules of the Major Event Organization give the Athlete or other Pers on the option of choosing an e xpedited CAS appeal or a CAS appeal under normal CAS procedure, the final decision or adjudication by the Major Event Organization is binding on other Signatories regardless of whether the Athlete or other Person chooses the expedited appeal option.]

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 separat e decision to be made by the International Federation.

Thus, any claim by the Athlete that the Provisional Suspension was impro perly 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 underlying decision.

The extent of recognition of TU E decisions of other Anti -Doping Organizations shall be determined by Article 4.4 and the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions.]

72 [Comment to Article 15.3: Where the decision of a body that has not accepted the Code is in some respects Cod e compliant and in other respects not Code compliant, WT, other Signatories and National Federations should attempt to apply the decision in harmony with the principles of the Code.

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 WT 2021 Anti-Doping Rules 55 ARTICLE 16 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS No anti -doping rule violation proceeding may be commenced against an Athlete or other Person unless he or she has been notified of the anti -doping rule violation as provided in Article 7, or notification has been reasonably attempted, within ten (10) years from the date the violation is asserted to have occurred.

ARTICLE 17 EDUCATION WT shall plan, implement, evaluate and promote Education in line with the requirements of Article 18.2 of the Code and the International Standard for Education .

WT may decide to request that Athletes complete Educational activities before and/or during their participation in select Events (e.g: Youth World Championships) as a condition of such participation .

The list of Events for which Athletes will be required to complete Educational activities as a condition of partici pation will be published on WT’s website.

Failure by the Athlete to complete Educational activities as requested by WT may result in the imposition of sanction under WT's disciplinary rules , unless the Athlete provide s to WT a justification for such failure, which shall be assessed by WT on a case by case basis .

WT or other Signatory’s implementation of a decision, or their decision not to implement a decision under Article 15.3, is appealab le under Article 13.]

WT 2021 Anti-Doping Rules 56 (ii) recognizing the authority of the National Anti -Doping Organization in their country in accordance with Article 5.2.1 of the Code and assist ing as appropriate with the National Anti-Doping Organization’s implementation of the national Testing program for their sport; (iii) analyzing all Samples collected using a WADA -accredited or WADA -approved laboratory in accordance with Article 6.1; and (iv) ensuring that any national level anti-doping rule violation cases discovered by MNA s are adjudicate d by an Operationally Independent hearing panel in accordance with Article 8.1 and the International Standard for Results Management .

18.9 MNAs shall take all measures within the scope of their powers to implement these Anti -Doping Rules and ensure that their affiliated Athletes , Athlete Support Personnel and other Persons comply with them.

ARTICLE 1 9 ADDITIONAL ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF WT 19.1 In addition to the roles and responsibilities described in Article 20.3 of the Code for International Federations, WT shall report to WADA on WT’s compliance with the Code and the International Standards in accordance with Article 24.1.2 of the Code .
