F. Investigation and <strong>Pro</strong>cedure 1. Anti-Corruption Hearing Officer. a. The TIB shall appoint one or more independent AHOs, who shall be responsible for (i) determining whether Corruption Offences have been committed, and (ii) fixing the sanctions for any Corruption Offence found to have been committed. b. An AHO shall serve a term of two years, which may thereafter be renewed in the discretion of the TIB. If an AHO becomes unable to serve, a new AHO may be appointed for a full twoyear term pursuant to this provision. 2. Investigations. a. The TIU shall have the right to conduct an initial interview and follow-up interviews, if necessary as determined solely by the TIU, with any Covered Person in furtherance of investigating the possibility of a commission of a Corruption Offence. i. The date and time of all interviews shall be determined by the TIU, giving reasonable allowances for Covered Persons’ tournament and travel schedules. ii. The Covered Person shall have the right to have counsel attend the interview(s). iii. The interview shall be recorded. The recorded interviews shall be used for transcription and evidentiary purposes and thereafter shall be retained by the TIU for a minimum of 3 years in a secure place. iv. The Covered Person shall have the right to request an interpreter, and the cost shall be borne by the TIU. v. Transcripts of the interview shall be provided to the Covered Person, upon request, within a reasonable period of time following the conclusion of the interview. b. All Covered Persons must cooperate fully with investigations conducted by the TIU. No Covered Person shall tamper with or destroy any evidence or other information related to any Corruption Offence. c. If the TIU believes that a Covered Person may have committed a Corruption Offence, the TIU may make a Demand to any 102
Covered Person to furnish to the TIU any information regarding the alleged Corruption Offence, including, without limitation, (i) records relating to the alleged Corruption Offence (including, without limitation, itemised telephone billing statements, text of SMS messages received and sent, banking statements, Internet service records, computers, hard drives and other electronic information storage devices), and (ii) a written statement setting forth the facts and circumstances with respect to the alleged Corruption Offence. The Covered Person shall furnish such information within seven business days of the making of such Demand, or within such other time as may be set by the TIU. Any information furnished to the TIU shall be (i) kept confidential except when it becomes necessary to disclose such information in furtherance of the prosecution of a Corruption Offence, or when such information is reported to administrative, professional, or judicial authorities pursuant to an investigation or prosecution of non-sporting laws or regulations and (ii) used solely for the purposes of the investigation and prosecution of a Corruption Offence. d. By participating in any Event, or accepting accreditation at any Event, a Covered Person contractually agrees to waive and forfeit any rights, defences, and privileges provided by any law in any jurisdiction to withhold information requested by the TIU or the AHO. If a Covered Person fails to produce such information, the AHO may rule a Player ineligible to compete, and deny a Covered Person credentials and access to Events, pending compliance with the Demand. e. If a PTIO concludes that a Corruption Offence may have been committed, the PTIO shall refer the matter and send the evidence to the AHO, and the matter shall proceed to a Hearing before the AHO in accordance with Article G of this <strong>Pro</strong>gram. 3. Each Covered Person shall be determined to be immediately contactable at the most current postal address provided to a Governing Body. Any Notice delivered hereunder to a Covered Person at such address, shall be deemed to have been received by the Covered Person on date of delivery to such address in the confirmation of delivery provided by the courier service company. At its discretion, as an alternative to or in conjunction with the courier delivery, any other method of secure and confidential communication may be used, including, but not limited to hand delivery, facsimile or e-mail, provided that the burden of proving receipt via such alternative methods shall be on the sending party. 103
