8A  Simplified outline of this Part

      The regulations must prescribe a scheme, known as the NAD scheme. The NAD scheme implements the General Anti‑Doping Convention and the UNESCO Anti‑Doping Convention.
      Certain matters must be in the NAD scheme (see Division 2). For example, the NAD scheme must:
             (a) contain the anti‑doping rules; and
             (b) authorise the CEO to test samples provided by athletes; and
             (c) authorise the CEO to investigate possible violations of the anti‑doping rules; and
             (d) contain rules (known as sporting administration body rules) that are applicable to certain sporting administration bodies.
      The NAD scheme must authorise the CEO to give a person a disclosure notice in certain circumstances. A disclosure notice can require a person to attend an interview to answer questions, to give specified information, or to produce specified documents or things. There are consequences for failing to comply with a disclosure notice (see section 13C).
      The NAD scheme must comply with certain rights of athletes, support persons and non‑participants. These include notification rights.
