On 2 September 2017 FIRS congress accepted change of name to World Skate (WSK). World Skate name will be used throughout this document. These Anti-Doping Rules are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. Aimed at enforcing anti-doping principles in a global and harmonized manner, they are distinct in nature from criminal and civil laws, and are not intended to be subject to or limited by any national requirements and legal standards applicable to criminal or civil proceedings. When reviewing the facts and the law of a given case, all courts, arbitral tribunals and other adjudicating bodies should be aware of and respect the distinct nature of these Anti-Doping Rules implementing the Code and the fact that these rules represent the consensus of a broad spectrum of stakeholders around the world as to what is necessary to protect and ensure fair sport. Fundamental Rationale for the Code and World Skate’s Anti-Doping Rules Anti-doping programs seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. This intrinsic value is often referred to as "the spirit of sport". It is the essence of Olympism, the pursuit of human excellence through the dedicated perfection of each person’s natural talents. It is how we play true. The spirit of sport is the celebration of the human spirit, body and mind, and is reflected in values we find in and through sport, including: • Ethics, fair play and honesty • Health • Excellence in performance • Character and education • Fun and joy • Teamwork • Dedication and commitment • Respect for rules and laws • Respect for self and other Participants • Courage • Community and solidarity Doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport. WSK Anti-Doping Rules v3.0 – based on 2015 Code – Amended December 2017 4 WSK Anti-Doping Rules v3.0 – based on 2015 Code – Amended December 2017 5 WORLD SKATE ANTI-DOPING HISTORY World Skate condemns doping as fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport and upholds the principles of Fairness, Respect, Responsibility and Safety in Sport Historically doping control has existed in World Skate on an informal basis. In 1999, resulting from the Lausanne Declaration, World Skate, then FIRS, adopted its first formal anti-doping policy. In 2003, World Skate was one of the first International Federations to sign the Code and then formally adopted a WADA compliant anti- doping policy in 2004. In 2008 the use of ADAMS for all Athletes and anti-doping administration was initiated. The aim of this policy is to further the World Skate’s belief that • All Athletes have the right to participate in doping-free sport and to promote health, fairness and equality for all Athletes worldwide • To promote standardised, effective and coordinated anti-doping programs to ensure detection of doping activities in all Athletes worldwide in all sports and at all levels of participation. Scope of these Anti-Doping Rules These Anti-Doping Rules shall apply to World Skate and to each of its National Federations. They also apply to the following Athletes, Athlete Support Personnel and other Persons, each of whom is deemed, as a condition of his/her membership, accreditation and/or participation in the sport, to have agreed to be bound by these Anti-Doping Rules, and to have submitted to the authority of World Skate to enforce these Anti-Doping Rules and to the jurisdiction of the hearing panels specified in Article 8 and Article 13 to hear and determine cases and appeals brought under these Anti-Doping Rules: a. all Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel who are members of World Skate, or of any National Federation, or of any member or affiliate organization of any National Federation (including any clubs, teams, associations or leagues); b. all Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel participating in such capacity in Events, Competitions and other activities organized, convened, authorized or recognized by World Skate or any National Federation, or any member or affiliate organization of any National Federation (including any clubs, teams, associations or leagues), wherever held; c. any other Athlete or Athlete Support Personnel or other Person who, by virtue of an accreditation, a license or other contractual arrangement, or otherwise, is subject to the jurisdiction of World Skate or of any National Federation, or WSK Anti-Doping Rules v3.0 – based on 2015 Code – Amended December 2017 6 of any member or affiliate organization of any National Federation (including any clubs, teams, associations or leagues), for purposes of anti-doping; To be eligible for participation in a World Skate World Championship, a competitor must have an World Skate license issued by his or her National Federation.
