Pan American Games 14-30 October 2011 Para-Archery World Archery International Archery Federation Conference for International Archery Classifiers Maison du Sport International To start the process to come to a classification structure the Avenue de Rhodanie 54 Para-Archery Committee decided to organise a conference for 1007 Lausanne - Switzerland Phone: +41 (0)21 614 30 50 international classifiers in conjunction with the European Fax: +41 (0)21 614 30 55 Para-Archery Championships. All international classifiers were Email: [email protected] invited to participate in the discussion that was held on 7 Website: www.worldarchery.org August 2010 in Vichy, France. FITA Para-Archery envisions a developed and sustainable archery sport system from national development to international competition, providing opportunities for all persons with a physical disability (including visual impairment) to participate in the sport of archery. One of the priorities set by the Para-Archery Committee is to establish standards and framework for education, training, accreditation and certification of classifiers by FITA in compliance with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Classification Code. The structure to be developed for classification should achieve long term sustainability and credibility within the FITA organisation. Rounds Change The Para-Archery Committee would like to clarify that the Para-Archery compound rounds will only change to the 50m round after the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Therefore, they will use the 70m Round in London and the FITA Round in the World Archery Para Championships in 2011. October 2010 World Archery Newsletter Page 3 Target Archery Committee Meeting The FITA Target Archery Committee held a meeting on 26 October 2010 at the World Archery Head Office to prepare proposals to be decided during the Council meeting in November in Istanbul. Chairman Vicente MARTINEZ ORGA, together with members Simon WEE and Andreas LORENZ, were joined by Council Member Mark MILLER and Ex Officio Member Juan Carlos HOLGADO. They discussed several matters regarding rule changes approved at the Congress of Ulsan in September 2009 that have yet to be ratified by Council. Tom DIELEN, World Archery Secretary General, attended the meeting as well. Further topics of discussion were some questions raised during the year and feedback from archers and coaches worldwide. Some of them have been proposed as Bylaws for Council. Clean Sport WADA 2011 Prohibited List Following its approval by the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Executive Committee on 18 September 2010, the 2011 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods is now available. This List will take effect on 1 January 2011. The 2011 List offers a number of changes compared to the 2010 List. These changes reflect the latest scientific advances and broad consensus in the anti-doping community. They are founded on expanding anti-doping knowledge, evidence from the field, and constantly growing understanding of doping practices and trends. Declaration of Use A noteworthy amendment is the removal of the obligation for athletes to file a Declaration of Use for specific substances that are not prohibited. Declarations of Use, which must be distinguished from Therapeutic Use Exemptions (allowing the use of a prohibited substance), are required in 2010 for salbutamol and salmeterol by inhalation; glucocorticosteroids administered by intra-articular, periarticular, peritendinous, epidural, intradermal and inhalation routes; as well as platelet-derived preparations that are not administered by intramuscular route. Failure by an athlete to file a Declaration of Use does not result in 2010 in an allegation of an anti- doping rule violation. This administrative requirement was therefore removed for 2011. Non-Approved Substances A new section – "Non-Approved Substances" – has been added. This "open" section addresses the issue of the abuse of pharmacological substances for the purpose of performance enhancement that are not included in other sections of the List and that are not approved by any governmental regulatory health authority for human therapeutic use (i.e. drugs under pre-clinical or clinical development or discontinued). These substances will be prohibited at all times (in- and out-of- competition) in 2011. October 2010 World Archery Newsletter Page 4 Platelet-Derived Preparations Platelet-derived preparations (commonly referred as PRP or blood spinning), prohibited in 2010 when used by intra-muscular route, have been removed from the List for 2011 after consideration of the lack of current evidence concerning the use of these methods for purposes of performance enhancement. Current studies on platelet-derived preparations do not demonstrate potential for performance enhancement beyond a potential therapeutic effect. WADA will however continue to closely monitor research results and developments of these preparations.

Twelve countries participated in this event: India, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Mongolia, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei, Malaysia and USA, with a total participation number of 135 athletes and 34 officials. Following the WADA and FITA Anti-Doping policy, the Secretary General of the Chinese Taipei Archery Association, Dr CHIU Ping-Kun (Peter), acted as coordinator to ensure the spirit of "Shoot Clean" was well represented in this event. Six samples (urine and breath testing) were collected during the competition according to the FITA Constitution & Rules.
