DownloadAnti-Doping Rule Violation Panel
Overview
The Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel (ADRVP) was established on 1 January 2010 under Part 5 of the ASADA Act.
From 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 the ADRVP held 15 regular meetings. During the financial year two athletes challenged the ADRVP’s decisions in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The Administrative Appeals Tribunal reaffirmed the ADRVP’s decision in both cases. During 2010–11, the ADRVP made 42 decisions to enter athlete and athlete support personnel’s details onto the Register of Findings (RoF).
