The sanction reduction based on No Significant Fault or Negligence has rarely been appl ied in Contaminated Product cases unless the Athlete has exercised a high level of caution before taking the Contaminated Product. |
In assessing whether the Athlete ca n establish the source of the Prohibited Substance, it would, for example, be significant for purposes of establishing whether the Athlete actually Used the Contaminated Product, whether the Athlete had declared the product which was subsequently determined to be contaminated on the Doping Control form. |
This Article should not be extended bey ond products that have gone through some process of manufacturing. |
Where an Adverse Analytical Finding results from environment contamination of a “non -product” such as tap water or lake water in circumstances where no reasonable person would expect any ri sk of an anti -doping rule violation, typically there would be No Fault or Negligence under Article 10.5.] |

If the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility is a lifetime, the reduced period under this Article may be no less than eight (8) years.49 10.7 Elimination, Reduction, or Suspension of Period of Ineligibility or Other Consequences for Reasons Other than Fault 10.7.1 Substantial Assistance in Discovering or Establishing Code Violations50 10.7.1.1 World Skate may, prior to an appellate decision under Article 13 or the expiration of the time to appeal, suspend a part of the Consequences (other than Disqualification and mandatory Public Disclosure ) imposed in an individual case where the Athlete or other Person has provided Substantial Assistance to an Anti-Doping Organization , criminal authority or professional disciplinary body which results in: (i) the Anti-Doping Organization discovering or bringing forward an anti -doping rule violation by another Person ; or (ii) which results in a criminal or disciplinary body discovering or bringing forward a criminal offense or the breach of professional rules committed by another Person and the information provided by the Person providing Substantial Assistance is made available to World Skate or other Anti-Doping Organization with Results Management responsibility ; or (iii) which results in WADA initiating a proceeding against a Signatory , WADA -accredited laboratory, or Athlete passport management unit (as defined in the International Standard for Testing and Investigations) for non -compliance with the Code , International Standard or Technical Document ; or (iv) with the approval by WADA , which results in a criminal or disciplinary body bringing forwa rd a criminal offense or the breach of professional or sport rules arising out of a sport integrity violation other than doping . |
After an appellate decision under Article 13 or the expiration of time to appeal, World Skate may only suspend a part of the ot herwise applicable Consequences with the approval of WADA . |
The extent to which the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility may be suspended shall be based on the seriousness of the anti -doping rule violation committed by the Athlete or other Person and the significance of the Substantial Assistance provided by the Athlete or other Person to the effort to eliminate doping in sport, non -compliance with the Code and/or sport integrity violations. |
No more than three -quarters of the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility may be suspended. |
If the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility is a lifetime, the non -suspended period under this Article must be no less than eight (8) years. |
For purposes of this paragraph, the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility shall not include any period of Ineligibility that could be added under Article 10.9.3.2 of the se Anti -Doping Rules . |
49 [Comment to Article 10.6.2: Article 10.6.2 may be applied to any anti -doping rule violation except those Articles where intent is an element of the anti -doping rule violation (e.g., Article 2.5, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 or 2.11) or an element of a particular sanction (e.g., Article 10.2.1) or a range of Ineligibility is already provided in an Article based on the Athlete or other Person’s degree o f Fault. ] |
50 [Comment to Article 10.7.1: The cooperation of Athletes, Athlete Support Personnel and other Persons who acknowledge their mistakes and are willing to bring other anti -doping rule violations to light is important to clean sport.] |
World Skate Anti -Doping Rules Page 35 of 67 If so requested by an Athlete or other Person who seeks to provide Substantial Assistance , World Skate shall allow the Athlete or other Person to provide the information to it subject to a Without Prejudice Agreement . |
If the Athlete or other Person fails to continue to cooperate and to provide the complete and credible Substantial Assistance upon which a suspension of Consequences was based, World Skate shall reinstate the original Consequences . |
If World Skate decides to reinstate suspended Consequences or decides not to reinstate suspended Consequences , that decision may be appealed by any Person entitled to appeal under Article 13. |
10.7.1.2 To further encourage Athlete s and other Person s to provide Substantial Assistance to Anti-Doping Organization s, at the request of World Skate or at the request of the Athlete or other Person who has , or has been asserted to have , committed an anti -doping rule violation, or other violation of the Code , WADA may agree at any stage of the Results Management process, including after an appellate decision under Article 13, to what it considers to be an appropriate suspension of the otherwise -applicable period of Ineligibility and other Consequences . |
In exceptional circumstances, WADA may agree to susp ensions of the period of Ineligibility and other Consequences for Substantial Assistance greater than those otherwise provided in this Article, or even no period of Ineligibility , no mandatory Public Disclosure and/or no return of prize money or payment of fines or costs. |
WADA ’s approval shall be subject to reinstatement of Consequences , as otherwise provided in this Article. |
Notwithstanding Article 13, WADA ’s decisions in the context of this Article 10.7.1.2 may not be appealed. |
10.7.1.3 If World Skate suspends any part of an otherwise applicable sanction because of Substantial Assistance , then notice providing justification for the decision shall be provided to the other Anti-Doping Organizations with a right to appeal under Article 13.2.3 as prov ided in Article 14.2. |
In unique circumstances where WADA determines that it would be in the best interest of anti -doping, WADA may authorize World Skate to enter into appropriate confidentiality agreements limiting or delaying the disclosure of the Substan tial Assistance agreement or the nature of Substantial Assistance being provided. |
10.7.2 Admission of an Anti -Doping Rule Violation in the Absence of Other Evidence Where an Athlete or other Person voluntarily admits the commission of an anti -doping rul e violation before having received notice of a Sample collection which could establish an anti-doping rule violation (or, in the case of an anti -doping rule violation other than Article 2.1, before receiving first notice of the admitted violation pursuant to Article 7) and that admission is the only reliable evidence of the violation at the time of admission, then the period of Ineligibility may be reduced, but not below one -half of the period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable.51 51 [Comment to Article 10.7.2: This Article is intended to apply when an Athlete or other Person comes forward and admits to an anti-doping rule violation in circumstances where no Anti -Doping Organization is aware that an anti -doping rule violation might World Skate Anti -Doping Rules Page 36 of 67 10.7.3 Application of Multiple Grounds for Reduction of a Sanction Where an Athlete or other Person establishes entitlement to reduction in sanction under more than one provision of Article 10.5, 10.6 or 10.7, before applying any reduction or suspension under Ar ticle 10.7, the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility shall be determined in accordance with Articles 10.2, 10.3, 10.5, and 10.6. |
If the Athlete or other Person establishes entitlement to a reduction or suspension of the period of Ineligibility unde r Article 10.7, then the period of Ineligibility may be reduced or suspended, but not below one -fourth of the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility . |
10.8 Results Management Agreements 10.8.1 One (1) Year Reduction for Certain Anti -Doping Rule Violations Based on Early Admission and Acceptance of Sanction Where an Athlete or other Person , after being notified by World Skate of a potential anti -doping rule violation that carries an asserted period of Ineligibility of four (4) or more years (including any period of Ineligibility asserted under Article 10.4), admits the violation and accepts the asserted period of Ineligibility no later than twenty ( 20) days after receiving notice of an anti -doping rule violation charge, the Athlete or other Person may receive a one (1) year reduction in the period of Ineligibility asserted by World Skate . |
Where the Athlete or other Person receives the one (1) year reduc tion in the asserted period of Ineligibility under this Article 10.8.1, no further reduction in the asserted period of Ineligibility shall be allowed under any other Article.52 10.8.2 Case Resolution Agreement Where the Athlete or other Person admits an anti -doping rule violation after being confronted with the anti -doping rule violation by World Skate and agrees to Consequences acceptable to World Skate and WADA , at their sole discretion, then: (a) the Athlete or other Person may receive a red uction in the period of Ineligibility based on an assessment by World Skate and WADA of the application of Articles 10.1 through 10.7 to the asserted anti-doping rule violation, the seriousness of the violation, the Athlete or other Person ’s degree of Fault and how promptly the Athlete or other Person admitted the violation; and (b) the period of Ineligibility may start as early as the date of Sample collection or the date on which another anti -doping rule violation last occurred. |
In each case, however, whe re this Article is applied, the Athlete or other Person shall serve at least one -half of the agreed -upon period of Ineligibility going forward from the earlier of the date the Athlete or other Person accepted the imposition of a sanction or a Provisional S uspension which was subsequently respected by the Athlete or other Person . |
The decision by WADA and World Skate to enter or not enter into a case resolution agreement, and the amount of the reduction to, and the starting date of, the period of Ineligibilit y are not matters for determination or review by a hearing body and are not subject to appeal under Article 13. have been committed. |
It is not intended to apply to circumstances where the admission occurs after the Athlete or other Person believes he or she is about to be caught. |
The amount by which Ineligibility is reduced should be based on the likelihood that the Athlete or other Person would have been caught had he or she not come forward voluntarily.] |
52 [Comment to Article 10.8.1: For example, if World Skate alleges that an Athlete has violated Article 2.1 for Use of an anabol ic steroid and asserts the applicable period of Ineligibility is four (4) years, then the Athlete may unilaterally reduce the period of Ineligibility to three (3) years by admitting the violation and accepting the three (3) year period of Ineligibility within t he time specified in this Article , with no further reduction allowed. |
This resolves the case without any need for a hearing.] |
World Skate Anti -Doping Rules Page 37 of 67 If so requested by an Athlete or other Person who seeks to enter into a case resolution agreement under this Article, World Skate shall allow the Athlete or other Person to discuss an admission of the anti -doping rule violation with it subject to a Without Prejudice Agreement .53 10.9 Multiple Violations 10.9.1 Second or Third Anti -Doping Rule Violation 10.9.1.1 For an Athlete or other Person’s second anti -doping rule violation, the period of Ineligibility shall be the greater of: (a) A six (6) month period of Ineligibility ; or (b) A period of Ineligibility in the range between: (i) the sum of the period of Ineligibility imposed for the first anti -doping rule violation plus the period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable to the second anti -doping rule violation treated as if it were a first violation , and (ii) twice the period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable to the second anti -doping rule violation treated as if it were a first violation . |
The period of Ineligibility within this range shall be determined based on the entirety of the circumstances and the Athlete or other Person ’s degree of Fault with respect to the second violation. |
10.9.1.2 A third anti -doping rule violation will always result in a lifetime period of Ineligibility , except if the third violation fulfills the condition for elimination or reduction of the period of Ineligibility under Article 10.5 or 10.6, or involves a violation of Article 2.4. |
In these particular cases, the period of Ineligibility shall be from eigh t (8) years to lifetime Ineligibility . |
10.9.1. |
3 The period of Ineligibility established in Articles 10.9.1.1 and 10.9.1.2 may then be further reduced by the application of Article 10.7. |
10.9.2 An anti -doping rule violation for which an Athlete or other Person has established No Fault or Negligence shall not be considered a violation for purposes of this Article 10.9. |
In addition, an anti -doping rule violation sanctioned under Article 10.2.4.1 sh all not be considered a violation for purposes of Article 10.9 . |
10.9.3 Additional Rules for Certain Potential Multiple Violations 10.9.3.1 For purposes of imposing sanctions under Article 10.9, except as provided in Articles 10.9.3.2 and 10.9.3.3, an a nti-doping rule violation will only be considered a second violation if World Skate can establish that the Athlete or other Person committed the additional anti -doping 53 [Comment to Article 10.8: Any mitigating or aggravating factors set forth in this Article 10 shall be considered in arriving at the Consequences set forth in the case resolution agreement, and shall not be applicable beyond the terms of that agreement.] |
World Skate Anti -Doping Rules Page 38 of 67 rule violation after the Athlete or other Person received notice pursuant to Article 7, or after World Skate made reasonable efforts to give notice of the first anti -doping rule violation. |
If World Skate cannot establish this, the violations shall be considered together as one single first violation, and the sanction imposed shall be based on the violation that carries the more severe sanction, including the application of Aggravating Circumstances . |
Resul ts in all Competitions dating back to the earlier anti -doping rule violation will be Disqualified as provided in Article 10.10.54 10.9.3.2 If World Skate establishes that an Athlete or other Person committed an additional anti -doping rule violation prior to notification, and that the additional violation occurred twelve ( 12) months or more before or after the first -noticed violation, then the period of Ineligibility for the additional violation shal l be calculated as if the additional violation were a stand -alone first violation and this period of Ineligibility is served consecutively, rather than concurrently, with the period of Ineligibility imposed for the earlier -noticed violation. |
Where this Art icle 10.9.3.2 applies, the violations taken together shall constitute a single violation for purposes of Article 10.9.1. |
10.9.3.3 If World Skate establishes that an Athlete or other Person committed a violation of Article 2.5 in connection with the Doping Control process for an underlying asserted anti -doping rule violation, the violation of Article 2.5 shall be treated as a stand -alone first violation and the period of Ineligibility for su ch violation shall be served consecutively, rather than concurrently, with the period of Ineligibility , if any, imposed for the underlying anti -doping rule violation. |
Where this Article 10.9.3.3 is applied, the violations taken together shall constitute a single violation for purposes of Article 10.9.1. |
10.9.3.4 If World Skate establishes that a Person has committed a second or third anti -doping rule violation during a period of Ineligibility , the periods of Ineligibility for the multiple violations shal l run consecutively, rather than concurrently. |
10.9.4 Multiple Anti -Doping Rule Violations during Te n (10) Year Period For purposes of Article 10.9, each anti -doping rule violation must take place within the same ten (10) year period in order to be considered multiple violations. |
10.10 Disqualification of Results in Competitions Subsequent to Sample Collection or Commission of an Anti -Doping Rule Violation In addition to the automatic Disqualification of the results in the Competition which produce d the positive Sample under Article 9, all other competitive results of the Athlete obtained from the date a positive Sample was collected (whether In-Competition or Out-of-Competition ), or other anti -doping rule violation occurred, through the commencement of any Provisional Suspension or 54 [Comment to Article 10.9.3.1: The same rule applies where, after the imposition of a sanction, World Skate discovers facts in volving an anti -doping rule viol ation that occurred prior to notification for a first anti -doping rule violation – e.g., World Skate shall impose a sanction based on the sanction that could have been imposed if the two (2) violations had been adjudicated at the same time , including the a pplication of Aggravating Circumstances.] |

Dollars , only in cases where the maximum period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable has already been imposed. |
10.12.2 The imposition of a financial sanction or World Skate 's recovery of costs shall not be considered a basis for reducing the Ineligibility or other sanction which would otherwise be applicable under these Anti -Doping Rules. |
10.13 Commencement of Ineligibility Period Where an Athlete is already serving a period of Ineligibility for an anti -doping rule violation, any new period of Ineligibility shall commence on the first day after the current period of Ineligibility has been served. |
Otherwise, except as provided below, the period of Ineligibility shall start on the date of the final hearing decision providing for Ineligibility or, if the hearing is waived or there is no hearing, on the date Ineligibility is accepted or otherwise imposed. |
10.13.1 Delays Not Attributable to the Athlete or other Person Where there have been substantial delays in the hearing process or other aspects of Doping Control , and the Athlete or other Person can establish that such delays are not attributable to the Athlete or other Person , World Skate or CAS ADD , if applicable, may start the period of Ineligibility at an earlier date commencing as early as the date of Sample collection or the date on which another anti -doping rule violation last occurred. |
All competitive results achieved during the period of Ineligibility , including retroactive Ineligibility , shall be Disqualified .57 10.13.2 Credit for Provisional Suspension or Period of Ineligibility Served 55 [Comment to Article 10.10: Nothing in these Anti -Doping Rules precludes clean Athletes or other Persons who have been damaged by the actions of a Person who has committed an anti -doping rule violation from pursuing any right which they would otherwise have to seek damages from such Person.] |
56 [Comment to Article 10.11: This Article is not intended to impose an affirmative duty on World Skate to take any action to co llect forfeited prize money. |
If World Ska te elects not to take any action to collect forfeited prize money, it may assign its right to recover such money to the Athlete(s) who should have otherwise received the money. |
“Reasonable measures to allocate and distribute this prize money” could include using collected forfeited prize money as agreed upon by World Skate and its Athletes.] |
57 [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 pr ovided in this Article to start th e sanction at an earlier date should not be used.] |
World Skate Anti -Doping Rules Page 40 of 67 10.13.2.1 If a Provisional Suspension is respected by the Athlete or other Person , then the Athlete or other Person shall receive a credit for such period of Provisional Suspension against any period of Ineligibility which may ultimately be imposed. |
If the Athlete or other Person does not respect a Provisional Suspension , then the Athlete or other Person shall receive no credit for any period of Provisional Suspension served. |
If a p eriod of Ineligibility is served pursuant to a decision that is subsequently appealed, then the Athlete or other Person shall receive a credit for such period of Ineligibility served against any period of Ineligibility which may ultimately be imposed on ap peal. |
10.13.2.2 If an Athlete or other Person voluntarily accepts a Provisional Suspension in writing from World Skate and thereafter respects the Provisional Suspension , the Athlete or other Person shall receive a credit for such period of voluntary Provisional Suspension against any period of Ineligibility which may ultimately be imposed. |

10.13.2.4 In Team Sports , where a period of Ineligibility is imposed upon a team, unless fairness requires otherwise, the period of Ineligibility shall start on the date of the final hearing decision providing for Ineligibility or, if the hearing is waived, on the date Ineligibility is accepted or otherwise imposed. |
Any period of team Provisional Suspension (whether imposed or voluntarily accepted) shall be credited against the total period of Ineligibility to be served. ] |
10.14 Status During Ineligibility or Provisional Suspension 10.14.1 Prohibition Against Participation During Ineligibility or Provisional Suspension No Athlete or other Person who has been declared Ineligible or is subject to a Provisional Suspension may, during a period of Ineligibility or Provisional Suspension , partic ipate in any capacity in a Competition or activity (other than authorized anti -doping Education or rehabilitation programs) authorized or organized by any Signatory , Signatory's member organization, or a club or other member organization of a Signatory’s member organization, or in Competitions authorized or organized by any professional league or any international - or national -level Event organization or any elite or national -level sporting activity funded by a governmental agency. |
58 [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.] |
World Skate Anti -Doping Rules Page 41 of 67 An Athlete or other Person subject to a period of Ineligibility longer than four (4) years may, after completing four (4) years of the period of Ineligibility , participate as an Athlete in local sport events not sanctioned or otherwise under the authority of a Code Signatory or member of a Code Signatory , but only so long as the local sport event is not at a level that could otherwise qualify such Athlete or other Person directly or indirectly to compet e in (or accumulate points toward) a national championship or International Event , and does not involve the Athlete or other Person working in any capacity with Protected Persons . |

The new period of Ineligibility , including a reprimand and no period of Ineligibility , may be adjusted based on the Athlete or other Person’s degree of Fault and other circumstances of the case. |
The d etermination of whether an Athlete or other Person has violated the prohibition against participation, and whether an adjustment is appropriate, shall be made by the Anti-Doping Organization whose Results Management led to the imposition of the initial period of Ineligibility . |
