<p class="reg-lead">The Procedural Rules of the Anti-Doping Tribunal of the Union Cycliste Internationale, in force from 1 July 2026.</p>
<table class="reg-facts">
<tr><td>In force</td><td><b>1 July 2026</b> — adopted by the UCI Management Committee</td></tr>
<tr><td>Legal basis</td><td>Article 8.3.1, paragraph 2, of the UCI Anti-Doping Rules</td></tr>
<tr><td>Status</td><td><strong>Current version</strong></td></tr>

<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>What this document governs</h2>
<p>The UCI Anti-Doping Rules (Part 14) are not sufficient on their own. Three supplementary regulations — <strong>Results Management</strong>, <strong>Testing and Investigations</strong> and <strong>Therapeutic Use Exemptions</strong> — apply alongside them, and the <strong>Procedural Rules of the Anti-Doping Tribunal</strong> govern the conduct of proceedings. All four documents are available on this site.</p><p>The Procedural Rules of the <strong>UCI Anti-Doping Tribunal</strong> cover: the Tribunal's jurisdiction, its composition and independence, the rights and obligations of the parties, and the procedure from the filing of a case to the issuing of a judgment. The UCI Management Committee adopted these rules on the basis of Article 8.3.1 of the Anti-Doping Rules.</p>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec hi">
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Jurisdiction of the Tribunal</b>Article 3 defines the limits of the Tribunal's jurisdiction and Article 2 deals with the resolution of disputes — the first thing to examine before filing a case.</li>
<li><b class="t">Independence and impartiality</b>Article 5 guarantees the independence and impartiality of the Tribunal's members, and Article 4 determines its composition.</li>
<li><b class="t">Procedural rights of the parties</b>Article 10 sets out the procedural rights of the parties, and Article 11 deals with <strong>legal representation and assistance</strong> — that is, the right to counsel in these proceedings.</li>
<li><b class="t">Confidentiality and language</b>Article 7 governs confidentiality and Article 8 the language of the proceedings; two matters that quickly become practical issues in international cases.</li>
<li><b class="t">Time limits</b>Article 9 deals with time limits — missing a deadline is the most common ground for dismissal on procedural grounds in these proceedings.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For a rider facing a doping case, this document determines how the proceedings unfold, what rights they have and what time limits they must observe. It should be read together with the Anti-Doping Rules (Part 14) and the Results Management Regulations.</p>

UCI Anti-Doping Tribunal Procedural Rules 2026

<p class="reg-lead">International Handball Federation Anti-Doping Rules, edition of 14 February 2025.</p>
<table class="reg-facts">
<tr><td>Adoption</td><td><b>14 February 2025</b> — International Handball Federation</td></tr>

<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>What these regulations govern</h2>
<p>The IHF Anti-Doping Rules are set out in 24 articles and follow the structure of the World Anti-Doping Code: the definition of doping, anti-doping rule violations, proof, the Prohibited List, sample collection and investigations, analysis of samples, results management, hearings, sanctions and their consequences for teams, education, and the obligations of national federations, players and support personnel.</p>

<h2>Key changes in this edition<span class="reg-tag">Changes from the edition of 1 January 2021</span></h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Transfer of first-instance proceedings to the CAS Anti-Doping Division</b>This is the most significant structural change in this edition: a case previously heard by the <strong>IHF Disciplinary Panel</strong> is now referred to the <strong>Anti-Doping Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS ADD)</strong>. That Division's procedural rules govern, it issues the reasoned decision, and the IHF notifies it to the player and to the other organisations holding a right of appeal and records it in ADAMS.</li>
<li><b class="t">Provisional suspension and contaminated products</b>A player asserting that the violation relates to a <strong>contaminated product</strong> must establish that assertion before the CAS Anti-Doping Division. A decision of that Division not to lift a mandatory provisional suspension on that basis is not subject to appeal. An optional provisional suspension may be lifted by the IHF at any time before the decision is issued.</li>
<li><b class="t">Substances of abuse</b>Where the violation relates to a <strong>substance of abuse</strong> and the player satisfies the conditions of Article 10.2.4.1, a reduced period of ineligibility applies; these substances and methods are mostly those used for a purpose other than the enhancement of sport performance.</li>
<li><b class="t">Waiver of the hearing</b>If the player or other person waives the right to a hearing, no hearing before the Anti-Doping Division is required.</li>
<li><b class="t">Scope of application based on recognised competitions</b>The application of these Rules to players is tied to the list of recognised international competitions in Appendix 1 of the Player Eligibility Charter.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For a player facing an adverse analytical finding, the change of hearing body is a fundamental change in the conduct of the defence: the case is brought outside the federation from the very first instance and before the CAS Anti-Doping Division, under that Division's procedural rules and time limits.</p><p>The IHF Legal Regulations, in the edition of 21 December 2025, likewise state this jurisdiction expressly and have removed the adjudication of doping violations from the list of matters falling to the Disciplinary Commission.</p>

IHF Anti-Doping Rules 2025

<p class="reg-lead">Part 14 of the UCI Cycling Regulations — Anti-Doping Rules, edition of 20 February 2023.</p>
<table class="reg-facts">
<tr><td>Edition</td><td><b>20 February 2023</b></td></tr>
<tr><td>In force from</td><td>Under the final article, these Rules apply <strong>in full from 1 January 2021</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td>Basis</td><td>World Anti-Doping Code — the document is identified in its own footer as "UCI ADR 2021"</td></tr>
</table>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>What Part 14 governs</h2>
<p>The UCI Cycling Regulations are divided into <strong>seventeen numbered parts</strong>, which sit alongside the Constitution and the Code of Ethics. Each article carries its own three-part number — such as 14.1.001 — the first figure of which is the number of the part itself. This document is <strong>Part 14</strong> of that set.</p><p>The UCI Anti-Doping Rules implement the World Anti-Doping Code in cycling: the definition of doping and of anti-doping rule violations, proof, results management, hearings, periods of ineligibility, and statute of limitations.</p>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec hi">
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">In force from 1 January 2021</b>The text states expressly that these Rules apply in full <strong>from 1 January 2021 (the "Effective Date")</strong>; the February 2023 edition incorporates subsequent amendments but continues the same 2021 framework.</li>
<li><b class="t">No retroactive effect</b>The Rules do not apply retroactively to matters pending before the competent bodies prior to the Effective Date; Article 17 (statute of limitations) applies retroactively only where the limitation period has not yet expired.</li>
<li><b class="t">Three complementary instruments</b>These Rules do not stand alone: the <strong>Results Management Rules</strong>, the <strong>Testing and Investigation Rules</strong> and the <strong>Therapeutic Use Exemption Rules</strong> are separate documents that apply alongside them, all of which are available on this site.</li>
<li><b class="t">Adjudicatory body</b>Violations are adjudicated through the <strong>UCI Anti-Doping Tribunal</strong>, which has its own independent procedural rules.</li>
<li><b class="t">Interpretation of the text</b>The official text is published in English and French and, in the event of a discrepancy, the rule laid down in the document itself governs; the comments below the articles serve to interpret them.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For a rider facing an adverse analytical finding, this document and its three complementary instruments form the complete framework of the defence. The key practical point is that <strong>each case is governed by the edition in force at the time the violation was committed</strong> — and this text makes the rule against retroactivity explicit.</p>

<p class="reg-lead">International Handball Federation Anti-Doping Privacy Notice, February 2021.</p>
<table class="reg-facts">

<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>What this notice clarifies</h2>
<p>The International Handball Federation is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code and is responsible for implementing the anti-doping programme in indoor, beach and wheelchair handball. This notice explains <strong>what personal information the Federation collects from athletes, how it uses that information and with whom it shares it</strong> in order to implement that programme.</p>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec hi">
<h2>Key points</h2>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Scope of data varies with the athlete's level</b>The type of personal information collected depends on the athlete's level or role in the sport; an athlete in a registered testing pool provides more information than an athlete at other levels.</li>
<li><b class="t">The notice may be amended</b>The Federation may update this notice and, in the event of material changes, will give notice by publishing a revised version on its website and, where necessary, through other channels.</li>
<li><b class="t">Position alongside the anti-doping regulations</b>The IHF Anti-Doping Regulations, in the edition of 14 February 2025, assign first-instance proceedings to the Anti-Doping Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport; the data collected is processed within that same framework and through the ADAMS system.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>For athletes subject to the anti-doping programme, this document is the basis of their rights in relation to personal data — including who has access to their medical and whereabouts information. The wheelchair handball classification rules also contain a separate section on the processing of personal data.</p>

<h2>What are the Anti-Doping Rules in wrestling?</h2>
<p>The United World Wrestling (UWW) Anti-Doping Rules are the implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code in the sport of wrestling: they define anti-doping rule violations, regulate responsibilities and the procedure for sample collection, initial review and provisional suspension, guarantee the right to a fair hearing and notification of the decision, and set out the route of appeal. Administration and implementation of the federation's anti-doping programme has been entrusted to the <strong>International Testing Agency (ITA)</strong>.</p>

<h2>About the 2021 edition<span class="reg-tag">Changes from the 2015 edition</span></h2>
<h3>Key changes from the previous edition</h3>
<ol class="reg-tl">
<li><b class="t">Complete rewrite on the basis of the 2021 Code</b>The text was rewritten from the ground up to align with the <strong>2021 edition of the World Anti-Doping Code</strong>; the document reached 66 pages and its structure changed to numbered articles running from the definition of doping to confidentiality and reporting.</li>
<li><b class="t">Delegation of implementation to the International Testing Agency</b>Administration and implementation of the federation's anti-doping programme was delegated to the <strong>International Testing Agency (ITA)</strong>, and its role and responsibility were stated expressly in the text.</li>
<li><b class="t">Express statement of strict liability</b>The text expressly provides that establishing a violation <strong>does not require proof of intent, fault, negligence or knowing use on the part of the athlete</strong>.</li>
<li><b class="t">Elaboration of the procedural rules</b>Separate sections were devoted to <strong>responsibilities, initial review, notification and provisional suspension</strong>, <strong>the right to a fair hearing and notification of the decision</strong>, <strong>appeals</strong>, and <strong>confidentiality and reporting</strong>.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="reg-sec">
<h2>Who this document matters to</h2>
<p>Every doping case involving a wrestler is determined on the basis of this text. Two points matter to the defence: liability in doping is <strong>strict</strong> and establishing a violation does not require proof of the athlete's intent or fault, and the procedural time limits — from challenging a provisional suspension to requesting a hearing — are short. The final appellate authority is the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).</p>
