Equestrian Australia Anti-Doping Policy Amended

NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS:

The Equestrian Australia Anti-Doping Policy has been amended and is effective 10 August 2020.

The changes bring our sport in line with the establishment of Sport Integrity Australia which replaced the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) as the National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) in Australia from 1 July 2020.

The changes which come into effect on 10 August 2020 are:

  • Replacing the words Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) with Sport Integrity Australia (SIA)
  • Recognising the National Sports Tribunal (NST) for first instance hearings by all athletes, and appeals by non-international-level athletes,
  • Introducing the concept of ‘lower level athlete’ to allow greater flexibility in dealing with and sanctioning athletes below International or National level, and
  • Removing the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel.

You can stay educated about Anti-Doping by downloading the ASADA Clean Sport App, available through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

The App is a one stop shop for Anti-Doping which includes tools to find low risk supplements, check if a medication is banned in sport, complete a virtual reality testing mission, give feedback, report doping and more.
