ECB Anti-Doping Rules 2013 - Ecb - England and Wales Cricket ...

conformity with the International Standard for Testing and the Cricket Testing
Protocols.
5.1.2 All Cricketers (including Cricketers serving a period of Ineligibility or a
Provisional Suspension) must submit to Testing conducted on behalf of the
National Cricket Federation upon request, at any time or place, with or without
notice.
5.1.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the National Cricket Federation or the NADO may
select Cricketers for Target Testing so long as such Target Testing is not used
for any purpose other than legitimate Doping Control purposes.
5.1.4 The National Cricket Federation acknowledges the jurisdiction that the World
Anti-Doping Code confers on other Anti-Doping Organisations to test Cricketers.
The National Cricket Federation shall recognise such Testing and the results
thereof in accordance with Article 15.4 of the World Anti-Doping Code.
5.1.5 The National Cricket Federation may authorise independent observers to
observe Testing conducted on behalf of the National Cricket Federation.
5.2 In-Competition Testing
5.2.1 Cricketers shall be subject to Testing on behalf of the National Cricket
Federation at Matches. The selection of the Matches at which Testing is to
take place shall be determined by the National Cricket Federation and/or the
NADO (as they may agree between themselves), and shall remain
confidential except to those Persons with a reasonable need to know of such
selection in order to facilitate such Testing.
5.2.2 A Cricketer may be notified that he/she has been selected for Testing in
connection with a Match in which he/she is participating at any time from
0600 local time on the first day of the Match in question until one hour after
its completion or abandonment for whatever reason (including rain)
irrespective of whether there has been any play whatsoever in the Match at
the time of abandonment. Such periods (and only such periods) shall be
deemed “In-Competition” periods for purposes of the Rules, so that, by way
of example only:
5.2.2.1 the entire duration of any Match lasting more than one day will be
considered to be In-Competition;
5.2.2.2 where a Match overflows into a ‘reserve’ day which has been set
aside, then, for the purposes of the Rules, the In-Competition
period shall continue until the completion of the Match;
5.2.2.3 where a ‘reserve’ day has been set aside for a Match, but the
Match concludes prior to the commencement of play on the
‘reserve’ day, then such ‘reserve’ day will not be considered to fall
within the In-Competition period; and
5.2.2.4 where any Cricketer is not selected as a member of a starting XI
or as an officially designated substitute for a particular Match, then
the duration of such Match will not be considered to fall within the
In-Competition period relevant for that Cricketer.
5.2.3 The actual timing of the Testing at a selected Match, and the selection of
Cricketers to be tested at that Match, shall be at the discretion of the National
Cricket Federation or the NADO (as applicable) and (where applicable) in
