    WADAConnect Page 1 of 263 2021 Code Review - First Consultation: Questions to Discuss and Consider Showing: All (637 Comments) Article 2 - Fraudulent Conduct (29) ITTF SUBMITTED Françoise Dagouret, Anti-Doping Manager (Switzerland) Sport - IF – Summer Olympic Indeed this could be addressed in ADRV Art. 2.5 subject to deletion of "with any part of Doping Control" in the title.The above suggestion could be added as follows:".... providing fraudulent information or documents to an Anti-Doping Organization or during an investigation or a results management process, or intimidating, etc......." World Rugby SUBMITTED David Ho, Anti-Doping Manager - Compliance and Results (Ireland) Sport - IF – Summer Olympic We consider that some amendments are needed to this clause in order to assist with cases where a player or representative may attempt to intentionally mislead a panel. For example lying under oath would be fraudulent conduct. Is there a way to put the onus on the athlete to make sure that the case is not fabricated? We understand this may already fall under tampering however we have proposed the following wording: 2.5 Tampering or Attempted Tampering with any part of Doping Control Conduct which subverts any part of the Doping Control process but which would not otherwise be included in the definition of Prohibited Methods. Tampering shall include, without limitation, intentionally interfering or attempting to interfere with a Doping Control official, providing fraudulent, misleading and/or deceptive information, statements and/or documentation and/or calling an expert or witness who provides fraudulent, misleading and/or deceptive information, statements and/or documentation to an Anti-Doping Organization and/or hearing body and/or intimidating or attempting to intimidate a potential witness.

And Ballarat based Australian Centurion John Kilmartin (C 67) was amongst them. He qualified as a centurion in Australia in April with a fine 100 mile walk time of 21:11:56. He walked a similarly powerful race in Douglas last weekend, well back early (down towards 30th place) and then storming through the field to finish 7th overall with 21:26:48. It was a dream come true for John who had targeted this walk earlier this year. He had been putting in a lot of long walking through the bitterly cold Ballarat winter and it all paid off with a superb performance that certainly deserves to be Walker of the Week. In October, he is travelling to Auckland to walk in the New Zealand Centurions qualifying event – when (no if's about it!) he finishes that one, he will have done 3 hundreds in one year, a mighty feat. John in action in last weekend's IOM 24 Hour walk WHAT'S COMING UP • Next Saturday sees us back at Middle Park for more VRWC races.

Adam, who competes for Collingwood Harriers, is a multi talented athlete who excels in the pole vault as well as a walker. Adam walked 48:06 for 10km last month at Fawkner Park and this latest PB indicates that he is on target for even better times in the near future.

Unfortunately Beth was below par on the day and faded as the race progressed, leaving Lewis on his own out the front to finish first in an excellent 23:23.15. Matt Felton walked a very sensible race, starting slowly and coming home strongly to finish next with 24:01.97. Amy Burren walked a similar race, holding on well to record 24:47.49.

  • Issue: 803 - April 2010
    FRONT COVER: Johanna Jackson in action at the World Cup in Chihuahua, Mexico. PHOTO: by Jeff Salvage Editorial When travelling overseas, you appreciate being a race walker. Whilst having to walk many miles through airport terminals and connecting corridoors along flat straight surfaces seems to be a tedious burden for most people, I just love whizzing along past everyone and enjoy the journey. Never mind the slow travel belt everyone stands on to save themselves having to shuffling along a few hundred meters, it's a chance for another minute of high speed walking for me. No sitting around for an hour waiting for an announcement when you could be stretching your legs and enjoying another walk. Immigration control once asked me why I had come to the USA. When I told them I was there to compete in a race walk the officer replied; "Are you crapping me?" I was happy to give them a little demonstration, and race walked my way down the corridoor into the country. Meeting and chatting with race walkers from all over the world, you notice huge cultural differences, but enthusiasm for our sport is the same no matter who you ask. Competitive rivalries aside, we have a sport that really fosters a worldwide community spirit that we should be proud of. This edition of RWR re-introduces the international spirit into the magazine in a way I hope you’ll enjoy. Magazine info Race Walking Record (founded 1941) is the international magazine for the sport of walking and walking events, published each and every month.
