Introduction
The Australian Sports Commission (ASC) takes pride that, as a leader in the fight against doping in sport, Australia’s anti-doping programs have helped set the standard for the world sporting community. The ASC supports the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) in the fight against doping in sport and requires ASC-recognised National Sporting Organisations and National Sporting Organisations for people with a Disability to adopt the mandatory provisions of the World Anti Doping Code and rules that conform with the National Anti-Doping (NAD) scheme.
This Policy operates in conjunction with, where applicable, the ASC Code of Conduct, the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Athlete Scholarship Agreement, the National Talent Identification and Development (NTID) Athlete Agreement, the Australian Government Sport Training Grant (AGSTG) Agreement and any other applicable agreement. As such, this Policy is an important part of a comprehensive set of behavioural standards, responsibilities and practices. The ASC Code of Conduct and the athlete agreements listed above each contain the obligation to comply with applicable ASC policies and procedures, including this Policy.
An individual who is investigated and/or sanctioned under this Policy may also be investigated and/or sanctioned under the ASC Code of Conduct and/or an athlete agreement listed above (if applicable).
Any suspected anti-doping rule violation under this Policy must be reported in accordance with Article 25 of this Policy.
