In addition, WADA must review World Lacrosse ’s decision to grant a TUE that is referred to WADA by the Athlete’s National Anti -Doping Organization .
WADA may review any other TUE decisions at any time, whether upon request by those affected or on its own initiative.
If the TUE decision being reviewed meets the criteria set out in the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions , WADA will not interfere with it.
If the TUE decision does not meet those criteria, WADA will reverse it.23 4.4.7.2 Any TUE decision by World Lacrosse (or by a National Anti -Doping Organization where it has agreed to consider the application on behalf of World Lacrosse ) that is not reviewed by WADA , or that is reviewed by WADA but is not reversed upon review, may be appealed by the Athlete and/or the Athlete’s National Anti -Doping Organization , exclusively to CAS.24 4.4.7.3 A decision by WADA to reverse a TUE decision may be appealed by the Athlete, the National Anti -Doping Organization and/or World Lacrosse , exclusively to CAS.
4.4.7.4 A failure to render a decision within a reasonable time on a properly submitted application for grant /recognition of a TUE or for review of a TUE decision shall be considered a denial of the application thus triggering the applicable rights of review/appeal .
ARTICLE 5 TESTING AND INVE STIGATIONS 5.1 Purpose of Testing and Investigations25 5.1.1 Testing and investigations may be undertaken for any anti -doping purpose.
They shall be conducted in conformity with the provisions of the International Standard for Testing and Investigations and the specific protocols of World Lacrosse supplementing that Intern ational Standard .
23 [Comment to Article 4.4.7.1: WADA shall be entitled to charge a fee to cover the costs of: (a) any review it is required to c onduct in accordance with Article 4.4.7; and (b) any review it chooses to conduct, where the decision being reviewed is reversed.]
24 [Comment to Article 4.4.7.2: In such cases, the decision being appealed is the World Lacrosse ’s TUE decision, not WADA’s decision not to review the TUE decision or (having reviewed it) not to reverse the TUE decision.
However, the time to appeal the TUE decision does not begin to run until the date that WADA communicates its decision.
In any event, whether the decision has been reviewed by WADA or not, WADA shall be given notice of the appeal so that it may participate if it sees fit.]
25 [Comment to Article 5.1: Where Testing is conducted for anti -doping purposes, the analytical results and data may be used for other legitimate purposes under the Anti -Doping Organization’s rules.
See, e.g., Comment to Article 23.2.2 of the Code.]
WADA 2021 IF Model Rules ( December 2019) Page 19 of 69 5.1.2 Testing shall be undertaken to obtain analytical evidence as to whether the Athlete has violated Article 2.1 ( Presence of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in an Athlete ’s Sample ) or Article 2.2 ( Use or Attempted Use by an Athlete of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method ).

At National Events , the National Anti -Doping Organization of that country shall have authority to conduct Testing .
At the request of World Lacrosse (or other international organization which is the ruling body for an Event ), any Testing during the Event Period outside of the Event Venues shall be coordinated with World Lacrosse (or the relevant ruling body of the Event ).
5.3.2 If an Anti-Doping Organization , which would otherwise have Testing authority but is not responsible for initiating and directing Testing at an Event , desires to conduct Testing of Athletes at the Event Venues during the Event Period , the Anti-Doping Organization shall first confer with World Lacrosse (or other internatio nal organization which is the ruling body of the Event ) to obtain permission to conduct and coordinate such Testing .
If the Anti-Doping Organization is not satisfied with the response from World Lacrosse (or other 26 [Comm ent to Article 5.2.2: World Lacrosse may obtain additional authority to conduct Testing by means of bilateral or multilateral agreements with other Signatories.
Unless the Athlete has identified a sixty (60) minute Testing window between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., or has otherwise consented to Testing during that period, World Lacrosse will not test an Athlete during that period unless it has a serious and specific suspicion that the Athlete may be engaged in doping.
A challenge to whether World Lacrosse had sufficient suspicion for Testing during this time period shall not be a defense to an anti -doping rule violation based on such test or attempted test.]
WADA 2021 IF Model Rules ( December 2019) Page 20 of 69 international organization which is the ru ling body of the Event ), the Anti-Doping Organization may, in accordance with the procedures described in the International Standard for Testing and Investigations, ask WADA for permission to conduct Testing and to determine how to coordinate such Testing .
WADA shall not grant approval for such Testing before consulting with and informing World Lacrosse (or other international organization which is the ruling body for the Event ).

Athletes shall be notified before they are included in the Registered Testing Pool and when they are removed from that pool.
The notification shall contain the information set out in the International Standard for Testing and Investigations.
5.5.3 Where an Athlete is included in an international Registered Testing Pool by World Lacrosse and in a national Registered Testing Pool by their National Anti -Doping Organization , the National Anti -Doping Organization and World Lacrosse shall agree between themselves which of them shall accept that Athlete's whereabouts filings; in no case shall an Athlete be required to make whereabouts filings to more than one of the m. 27 [Comment to Article 5.3.2: Before giving approval to a National Anti -Doping Organization to initiate and conduct Testing at an International Event, WADA shall consult with the international organization which is the ruling body for the Event.
Before gi ving approval to an International Federation to initiate and conduct Testing at a National Event, WADA shall consult with the National Anti-Doping Organization of the country where the Event takes place.
The Anti -Doping Organization “initiating and directing Testing” may, if it chooses, enter into agreements with a Delegated Third Par ty to which it delegates responsibility for Sample collection or other aspects of the Doping Control process.]
WADA 2021 IF Model Rules ( December 2019) Page 21 of 69 5.5.4 In accordance with the International Standard for Testing and Investigations, each Athlete in the Registered Testing Pool shall do the following: (a) advise World Lacrosse of his/her whereabouts on a quarterly basis; (b) update that information as necessary so that it remains accurate and complete at all times; and (c) make himself or herself available for Testing at such whereabouts.
5.5.5 For purposes of Article 2.4, an Athlete’s failure to comply with the requirements of the International Standard for Testing and Investigations shall be deemed a filing failure or a missed test, as defined in Annex B of the International Standard for Results Management , where the conditions set forth in Annex B are met.
5.5.6 An Athlete in World Lacrosse ’s Registered Testing Pool shall continue to be subject to the obligation to comply with the whereabouts requirements set in the International Standard for Testing and Investigations unless and until (a) the Athlete gives written notice to World Lacrosse that he or she has retired or (b) World Lacrosse has informed him or her that he or she no longer satisfies the criteria for inclusion in World Lacrosse 's Registered Tes ting Pool .
5.5.7 Whereabouts information provided by an Athlete while in the Registered Testing Pool will be accessible through ADAMS to WADA and to other Anti-Doping Organizations having authority to test that Athlete as provided in Article 5.2.

TESTING POOL 5.5.8 In accordance with the International Standard for Testing and Investigations, World Lacrosse may establish a Testing Pool , which includes Athletes who are subject to less stringent whereabouts requirements than Athletes included in World Lacrosse’s Registered Testing Pool.
World Lacrosse shall nominate National Governing Body International Level Athletes who are ranked in the top 10 in the World in their respective Discipline and who shall become part of the Testing Pool .
For the avoidance of doubt, those Athletes who are part of the Registered Testing Pool shall not also be members of the Testing Pool .
Additionally, World Lacrosse may add any other Athletes (s) to the Testing Pool at its discretion and in compliance with the International Standard for Testing and Investigations.
5.5.9 World Lacrosse shall notify Athletes either directly or via their National Governing Body before they are included in the Testing Pool and when they are removed.
Such notification shall include the whereabouts requirements and the consequences that apply i n case of non-compliance, as indicated in 5.5.11.

during the off season, holiday or periods of injury), which will revert to a Athlete’s normal overnight address at 6 -7am unless otherwise specified by a n Athlete .
Such whereabouts information shall be filed in ADAMS to enable better Testing coordination with other Anti-Doping Organisations .
5.5.11 Any combination of three failures as set out below by an Athlete in the Testing Pool (“Testing Pool Failures”) within a 12 -month period shall result in World Lacrosse elevating the Athlete to the World Lacrosse Registered Testing Pool : (a) A n Athlete’s failure to provide whereabouts information in accordance with 5.5.1 7 on or before the date required by World Lacrosse; or (b) An Athlete’s failure to provide accurate whereabouts information; or (c) An Athlete’s failure to be available for Testing at the location and 60 -minute timeslot specified in 5.5.17(d).
5.5.12 For the avoidance of doubt, a Testing Pool Failure as set out in 5.1 8 will only count towards elevation to the Registered Testing Pool and not for the purposes of Article 2.4 of these Anti -Doping Rules .
5.5.13 The 12 -month period referred to in 5.
11 above starts to run on the date that the Athlete commits the first Testing Pool Failure being relied upon by World Lacrosse for the purpose of elevating the Athlete to the Registered Testing Pool .
It is not affected by any successful Sample collection conducted with r espect to that Athlete during the 12 -month period.
However, if a n Athlete who has committed one Testing Pool Failure does not go on to commit a further two Testing Pool Failures within 12 months of the first, at the end of that 12-month period the first Te sting Pool Failure “expires” for the purpose of 5.11.
For the purposes of determining whether a Testing Pool Failure has occurred within the 12 -month period referred to in 5.11: (a) A Testing Pool Failure relating to a late and/or inaccurate filing shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day of the quarter for which the Athlete fails to make the required filing; the date the inaccurate filing was discovered following an unsuccessful attempt to test; or in the case of any subsequent inaccurate filing in the same quarter, following notice of the previous inaccurate filing where the Athlete failed to rectify that Testing Pool Failure by the deadline specified in that notice; and (b) A Testing Pool Failure relating to unavailability for Testing in breach of 5.11(c) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the Sample collection was unsuccessfully attempted.
TEAM WHEREABOUTS TESTING POOL WADA 2021 IF Model Rules ( December 2019) Page 23 of 69 5.5.14 World Lacrosse will establish a Team Whereabouts Testing Pool of those National Governing Bodies who have a declared national team programs and have or will play in international competition.
Any National Governing Body may be added to the Team Whereabouts Testing Pool at the discretion of World Lacrosse in compliance with the International Standard for Testing and Investigations .
5.5.15 National Governing Bodies which are required to file Team Whereabouts shall do so on a quarterly basis or on the request from World Lacrosse and will be reported through a tool provided by World Lacrosse or ADAMS (if applicable) .
5.5.16 The National Governing Body shall report the requested details of all opportunities where a minimum of ten (10) Athletes or Athlete Support Personnel are meeting for any team purpose.
This shall include, but not limited to, training sessions, training camps, games or team meetings.
Additionally, National Governing Bodi es shall supply the list of names, ages and country of residence for all Athletes or Athlete Support Personnel who will take part in any of the aforementioned Team Meetings, irrespective if they have been selected to compete for the National Governing Body .
5.5.17 It is the responsibility of the National Governing Body to advise World Lacrosse of any changes or cancellations to the declared Team Whereabouts.
Failure to do so may incur the following sanctions: a) a fine to be determined by World Lacrosse of up to US$5,000 per occurrence .
b) If a National Governing Body has repeated offenses, eligibility to World Lacrosse events and competitions may be withdrawn.
5.6 Retired Athletes Returning to Competition 5.6.1 If an International -Level Athlete or National -Level Athlete in World Lacrosse ’s Registered Testing Pool retires and then wishes to return to active participation in sport, the Athlete shall not compete in International Event s or National Event s until the Athlete has made himself or herself available for Testing , by giving six (6) months prior written notice to World Lacrosse and their National Anti -Doping Organization .
WADA , in consultation with World Lacrosse and the Athlete's National Anti -Doping Organization , may grant an exemption to the six (6) month written notice rule where the strict application of that rule would be unfair to the Athlete .
This decision may be appealed under Article 13.
Any competitive results obtained in violation of this A rticle 5.
6.1 shall be Disqualified unless the Athlete can establish that he or she could not have reasonably known that this was an International Event or a National Event .
5.6.2 If an Athlete retires from sport while subject to a period of Ineligibility , the Athlete must notify the Anti-Doping Organization that imposed the period of Ineligibility in writing of such retirement .
If the Athlete then wishes to return to active competition in sport , the Athlete shall not compete in International Events or National Events until the Athlete has made himself or herself available for Testing by giving six (6) months prior written notice (or notice equivalent to the period of Ineligibility remaining as of the date the Athlete retired, if that period WADA 2021 IF Model Rules ( December 2019) Page 24 of 69 was longer than six (6) months) to World Lacrosse and to their National Anti -Doping Organization .
5.7 Independent Observer Program World Lacrosse and the organizing committees for World Lacrosse ’s Events , as well as the National Governing Bodies and the organizing committees for National Events, shall authorize and facilitate the Independent Observer Program at such Events .

Samples and related analytical data or Doping Control information used for research purposes shall first be processed in such a manner as to prevent Samples and related analytical data or Doping Control information being traced back to a particular Athlete .
Any r esearch involving 28 [Comment to Article 6.1: Violations of Article 2.1 may be established only by Sample analysis performed by a WADA -accredited laboratory or another laboratory approved by WADA.
Violations of other Articles may be established using analytical results f rom other laboratories so long as the results are reliable.]
29 [Comment to Article 6.2.1: For example, relevant Doping Control -related information could be used to direct Target Testing or to support an anti -doping rule violation proceeding under Article 2.2, or both.]
WADA 2021 IF Model Rules ( December 2019) Page 25 of 69 Samples and related analytical data or Doping Control information shall adhere to the principles set out in Article 19 of the Code .30 6.4 Standards for Sample Analysis and Reporting In accordance with Article 6.4 of the Code , World Lacrosse shall ask laboratories to analyze Samples in conformity with the International Standard for Laboratories and Article 4.7 of the International Standard for Testing and Investigations.
Laboratories at their own initiative and expense may anal yze Samples for Prohibited Substances or Prohibited Methods not included on the standard Sample analysis menu, or as requested by World Lacrosse .
Results from any such analysis shall be reported to World Lacrosse and have the same validity and Consequences as any other analytical result.31 6.5 Further Analysis of a Sample Prior to or During Results Management There shall be no limitation on the authority of a laboratory to conduct repeat or additional analysis on a Sample prior to the time World Lacrosse notifies an Athlete that the Sample is the basis for an Article 2.1 anti -doping rule violation charge.
If af ter such notification World Lacrosse wishes to conduct additional analysis on that Sample , it may do so with the consent of the Athlete or approval from a hearing body .
6.6 Further Analysis of a Sample After it has been Reported as Negative or has Otherwise not Resulted in an Anti -Doping Rule Violation Charge After a laboratory has reported a Sample as negative, or the Sample has not otherwise resulted in an anti -doping rule violation charge, it may be stored and subjected to further analyses for the purpose of Article 6.2 at any time exclusively at the direction of either the Anti-Doping Organization that initiated and direct ed Sample collection or WADA .
Any other Anti-Doping Organization with authority to test the Athlete that wishes to conduct further analysis on a stored Sample may do so with the permission of the Anti-Doping Organization that initiated and directed Sample collection or WADA , and shall be responsible for any follow -up Results Management .
Any Sample storage or further analysis initiated by WADA or another Anti-Doping Organization shall be at WADA ’s or that organization's expense.
Further analysis of Samples shall conform with the requirements of the International Standard for Laboratories.
6.7 Split of A or B Sample Where WADA , an Anti-Doping Organization with Results Management authority , and/or a WADA -accredited laboratory (with approval from WADA or the Anti-Doping Organization with Results Management authority ) wishes to split an A or B Sample for the purpose of using the first part of the split Sample for an A Sample analysis and the second part of t he split Sample for confirmation, then the procedures set forth in the International Standard for Laboratories shall be followed.
30 [Comment to Article 6.3: As is the case in most medical or scientific contexts, use of Samples and related info rmation for quality assurance, quality improvement, method improvement and development or to establish reference populations is not considered research.
Samples and related information used for such permitted non -research purposes must also first be proces sed in such a manner as to prevent them from being traced back to the particular Athlete, having due regard to the principles set out in Article 19 of the Code, as well as the requirements of the International Standard for Laboratories and International St andard for the Protection of Privacy and Personal Information.]
31 [Comment to Article 6.4: The objective of this Article is to extend the principle of “Intelligent Testing” to the Sample anal ysis menu so as to most effectively and efficiently detect doping.
