Rights and Responsibilities under the Code

Athletes, Athlete Support Personnel and other groups who are subject to anti-doping rules all have rights and responsibilities under the World Anti-Doping Code. Part Three of the Code outlines all the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder in the anti-doping system.

It is especially important that Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel know and understand Code Art. 21 (Additional Roles and Responsibilities of Athletes and Other Persons), particularly Art. 21.1 (Roles and Responsibilities of Athletes), Art. 21.2 (Roles and Responsibilities of Athlete Support Personnel) and Art. 21.3 (Roles and Responsibilities of Other Persons Subject to the Code).

It is equally important that Athletes are aware of their anti-doping responsibilities. Athlete Support Personnel should also familiarise themselves with these in order to be able to support their Athletes. These include:

  • Knowing, understanding and following the Anti-Doping Rules of CyADA or the NADO of your country, your International Federation (IF) and the Major Event Organiser (MEO) in the Events you participate in.
  • Taking full responsibility for what you ingest – making sure that no prohibited substance enters your body and that no prohibited methods are used
  • Informing medical personnel of your obligations as an Athlete
  • Cooperating with CyADA, the NADO of your country and other Anti-Doping Organisations as well as WADA.
  • Being available for sample collection
  • Not working with coaches, trainers, physicians or other Athlete Support Personnel who are ineligible on account of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV), or who have been criminally convicted or disciplined in relation to doping (see WADA’s Prohibited Association List)

 

Further details of these roles and responsibilities can be found in Code Art. 21.1.

Athletes also have specific rights and responsibilities during the Doping Control Process. Please refer to this relevant section for more information.

Like Athletes, Athlete Support Personnel and other persons who are bound by the Code also have a clear set of rights and responsibilities. These include:

  • Being knowledgeable of anti-doping policies and rules which are applicable to you or the Athlete(s) you support
  • Using your influence on Athlete values and behaviours to foster anti-doping attitudes
  • Complying with all anti-doping policies and rules which are applicable to you or the Athlete(s) you support
  • Cooperating with the Athlete testing program
  • Disclosing to your International Federation and your NADO whether you have committed any Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) within the previous ten years
  • Cooperating with anti-doping organisations investigating ADRVs

 

Further details of these roles and responsibilities can be found in Code Art. 21.2 and 21.3.
