INDEPENDENT ANTI-DOPING TRIBUNAL
The Independent Anti-Doping Tribunal (the Tribunal) was established by the IPC for the purpose of hearing and determining anti-doping rule violations and other related matters in accordance with IPC Anti-Doping Code (the Code) and Procedural Rules of the Independent Tribunal (the Tribunal Rules).
The Tribunal is an operationally independent body made up of suitably qualified persons (based on anti-doping experience, including legal, sports, medical and/or scientific expertise). Members of the Tribunal form a pool of persons from which members will be appointed by the President of the Tribunal to sit as a hearing panel to hear and determine a particular case (a Panel).
A Panel will hear and determine a case brought before it by the IPC in relation to alleged violation(s) of the Code and/or a participant who has been provisionally suspended pursuant to the Code. The Panel shall hear the case and determine its resolution in accordance with the terms of the Code and the Tribunal Rules.
After the conclusion of the hearing, the Panel will issue a written decision which will set out its findings and the basis for its decision, as well (if applicable) any consequences to be imposed. The decision will be circulated to the parties and all those with a potential right of appeal pursuant to the terms of the Code.
Decisions of the Tribunal may be appealed exclusively to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Appeals Division).
