What in the world is going on?
In 2004, the World Anti-Doping Agency implemented the first World-Anti-Doping Code (The Code)
The World Anti-Doping Code is the core document that provides the framework for harmonized anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within sports organizations and among public authorities
The current World Anti-Doping Code has undergone a thorough review and consultation
The revised Code will come into effect January 1, 2009
1-800-672-7775
So why do we have to change?
CCES administers the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) The CADP is the set of rules that govern doping control in
Canada The CADP is compliant with the World Anti-Doping Code and
all international standards
Therefore:When The Code changes, the CAPD must follow to stay compliant.

Athlete Whereabouts
The CADP will proceed with two tiers of Registered Testing Pool (RTP) athletes, each with a different set of requirements:• National (NRTP)• General (GRTP)
Lists of NRTP and GRTP athletes will be posted on the CCES website prior to December 1.
I’ll be at the track from
8:30 to 9:30.
1-800-672-7775
Athlete Whereabouts - NRTP
National Registered Testing Pool (NTRP) athletes must: Participate in mandatory anti-doping education Submit quarterly and maintain accurate Whereabouts Provide general Whereabouts for the day and a “one hour
compliance window” Be available for testing at any time, not only during the “one hour”
Athletes who fail to be in the “one hour” location during a testattempt will be required to provide an explanation and willpotentially be given a missed test or ‘strike’.
Keep your Whereabouts information up to date!
1-800-672-7775
Athlete Whereabouts - GRTP
General Registered Testing Pool (GRTP) athletes: Must submit Whereabouts quarterly and ensure they are accurate Are not required to provide a “one hour compliance window”
GRTP athletes who fail to provide accurate Whereaboutsinformation will be elevated to the NRTP and one-hour reporting.
And again… Keep your Whereabouts information up to date!

Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)
A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) may be granted by theCCES to an athlete permitting the use of a substance or method contained on the WADA Prohibited List.
And how will this process change with the new International Standard for Therapeutic Exemption (ISTUE)…
1-800-672-7775
Therapeutic Use Exemption for Asthma
TUE application requirements for Beta2-agonist asthma medications will be similar to that of the current Standard TUE process
The minimum requirements for Beta2-agonist asthma medications, and its clinical variants, when applying for a TUE must reflect current best medical practice to include:• Complete medical history• Comprehensive report of the clinical examination• Spirometry report • Contact info for examining physician
1-800-672-7775
Therapeutic Use Exemption for Asthma
Who applies to whom?
Athletes in the IF RTP IF
Athletes in CCES RTP only CCES
Athletes not in an RTP Apply after an AAF
1-800-672-7775
Therapeutic Use Exemption for GCS
Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) are used to treat conditions common in the athlete population.
There will be a simple declaration of use on ADAMS instead of the ATUE.
Example: GCS asthma inhalers Intraarticular injections to reduce
joint inflammation

Results Management and Sanctions
Sanctions will be within a range, rather than a set time• Specified substances• Substantial assistance• Aggravated sanctions
Mandatory provisional suspensions for steroid and hormone and other non-specified substances
Emphasis on investigations Athletes will be less likely to be given a
‘warning’ as a result of Cannabis use Athletes will be given 1-2 year sanctions for
Whereabouts violations
1-800-672-7775
Results Management and Sanctions
Whereabouts Sanctions:
Athletes in the IF or CCES RTP are subject to anti-doping rule violations for not complying with Whereabouts requirements.• The resulting sanction can range from the one-year
minimum to two years. Athletes in the CCES National RTP are subject to missed tests
if they are not available during the “one-hour” compliance window. • In addition, they are subject to quarterly filing failures.
Athletes in the CCES General RTP are subject to filing failure strikes only.
1-800-672-7775
Results Management and Sanctions
Whereabouts Sanctions:
The CCES and IFs will share athlete Whereabouts information submitted by: • Athlete Location form ; and • ADAMS (Anti-Doping Administration and Management
System)
When an athlete fails to provide Whereabouts information or receives a missed test, this information is shared between jurisdictions. • The athlete is always given an opportunity to explain.

The Prohibited List
BIG classification change: “All Prohibited Substances shall be Specified Substances except
substances in the classes of anabolic agents and hormones and those substances identified on the Prohibited List.”
Which means:Anti-doping rule violations will be subject to more flexible
sanctions. BUT are still anti-doping rule violations.
But don’t forget:An athlete is held to strict liability which means that he/she will be
held responsible for everything that is found in his/her system.
