• In 2003, the World Anti-Doping Code was adopted<br />
• The WADA Code was amended in 2009<br />
• A new revisi<strong>on</strong> of the WADA Code is scheduled for 2015<br />
• Under Article 13.2.1 of the WADA Code, in cases arising from participati<strong>on</strong> in an<br />
internati<strong>on</strong>al event or in cases involving internati<strong>on</strong>al-level athletes, the decisi<strong>on</strong> may<br />
be appealed exclusively to CAS in accordance with the provisi<strong>on</strong>s applicable before<br />
such court<br />
• Approximately 35% of the cases before the CAS are related to doping<br />
• The present presentati<strong>on</strong> will focus <strong>on</strong> the main issues which may arise before the<br />
CAS in relati<strong>on</strong> to doping matters<br />
• It is each athlete’s pers<strong>on</strong>al duty to ensure that no prohibited substance enters her/his<br />
body. Athletes are resp<strong>on</strong>sible for any prohibited substance or its metabolites or<br />
markers found to be present in their samples. Accordingly, it is not necessary that<br />
intent, fault, negligence or knowing use <strong>on</strong> the athlete’s part be dem<strong>on</strong>strated in order<br />
to establish an anti-doping rule violati<strong>on</strong> (Article 2.1.1)
