55 [Comment to Article 10.13.1: In cases of anti -doping rule violations other than under Article 2.1, the time required for an Anti - Doping Organization to discover and develop facts sufficient to establish an anti -doping rule violation may be lengthy, particularly where the Athlete or other Person has taken affirmative action to avoid detection. |
In these circumstances, the flexibility provided in this Article to start the sanction at an earlier date should not be used.] |
56 [Comment to Article 10.13.2.2: An Athlete’s voluntary acceptance of a Provisional Suspension is not an admission by the Athle te and shall not be used in any way to draw an adverse inference against the Athlete.] |

Any performance standard accomplished during a period of Ineligibility shall not be recognized by IFA or its National Federations for any purpose.] |
58 [Comment to Article 10.14.2: In many Team Sports and some individual sports (e.g., ski jumping and gymnastics), Athletes cannot effectively train on their own so as to be ready to compete at the end of the Athlete’s period of Ineligibility. |
During the t rainin g period described in this Article, an Ineligible Athlete may not compete or engage in any activity described in Article 10.14.1 other than training.] |

13.1.1 Scope of Review Not Limited The scope of review on appeal includes all issues relevant to the matter and is expressly not limited to the issues or scope of review before the initial decision maker. |
Any party to the appeal may submit evidence, legal arguments and claims that were not raised in the first instance hearing so long as they arise from the same cause of action or same general facts or circumstances raised or addressed in the first instance hearing.61 13.1.2 CAS Shall N ot Defer to the Findings Being Appealed In making its decision, CAS shall not give deference to the discretion exercised by the body whose decision is being appealed.62 13.1.3 WADA Not Required to Exhaust Internal Remedies Where WADA has a right to appeal unde r Article 13 and no other party has appealed a final decision within IFA’s process, WADA may appeal such decision directly to CAS without having to exhaust other remedies in IFA’s process.63 13.2 Appeals from Decisions Regarding Anti -Doping Rule Violations, Consequences , Provisional Suspensions, Implementation of Decisions and Authority A decision that an anti-doping rule violation was committed, a decision imposing Consequences or not imposing Consequences for an anti-doping rule violation, or a decision that no anti-doping rule violation was committed; a decision that an anti-doping rule violation proceeding cannot go forward for procedural reasons (including, for example, prescription); a decision by WADA not to grant an exception to the six -months notice re quirement for a retired Athlete to return to competition under 60 [Comment to Article 13: The object of the Code is to have anti -doping matters resolved through fair and transparent internal processes with a final appeal. |
Anti -doping decisions by Anti -Doping Organizations are made transparent in Article 14. |
Specified Persons and organizations, including WADA, are then given the opportunity to appeal those decisions. |
Note that the definition of interest ed Persons and organizations with a right to appeal under Article 13 does not include Athletes, or their National federations, who might benefit from having another competitor Disqualified.] |
61 [Comment to Article 13.1.1: The revised language is not intended to make a substantive change to the 2015 Code, but rather for clarification. |
For example, where an Athlete was charged in the first instance hearing only with Tampering but the same condu ct could also constitute Complicity, an appealing party could pursue both Tampering and Complicity charges against the Athlete in the appeal.] |
62 [Comment to Article 13.1.2: CAS proceedings are de novo. |
Prior proceedings do not limit the evidence or carry weight in the h earing before CAS.] |

If the CAS hearing panel determines that an anti -doping rule violat ion was committed and that WADA acted reasonably in electing to appeal directly to CAS, then WADA’s costs and attorney fees in prosecuting the appeal shall be reimbursed to WADA by IFA.66 65 [Comment to Article 13.2.4: This provision is necessary becaus e since 2011, CAS rules no longer permit an Athlete the right to cross appeal when an Anti-Doping Organization appeals a decision after the Athlete’s time for appeal has expired. |
This provision permits a full hearing for all parties.] |
66 [Comment to Artic le 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 IFA to render a decision before WADA may intervene by appealing directly to CAS. |
Before taking such action, however, WADA wi ll consult with IFA and give IFA an opportunity to explain why it has not yet rendered a decision.] |
