PREAMBLE

WHEREAS in furtherance of its role, Federation Internationale Des Echecs (FIDE), in close collaboration with the National Chess Federations (NCFs), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) dedicates its efforts to ensuring that in chess the spirit of Fair Play prevails, leads the fight against doping in sport and takes measures, the goal of which is to prevent endangering the health of competitors

WHEREAS FIDE's duty to protect the health of competitors and ensure respect for sports ethics leads it to prohibit doping and to oblige competitors to undergo medical tests and examinations, prescribing to such end the sanctions applicable in the event of a violation of the established rules

WHEREAS one of the fundamental objectives of the Olympic Movement is to eliminate completely doping from sport, the adoption by FIDE of the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations reflects the solidarity of the FIDE in the achievement of such goal, and the primary means to achieve this result will be continuing education regarding the ethical values of sport and the dangers, both physical and moral, of doping, these Regulations must be effective to deal with doping cases as they arise

WHEREAS the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations is essentially intended to ensure respect for the ethical concepts implicit in Fair Play, the Olympic Spirit and medical practice and to safeguard the health of competitors

WHEREAS the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations applies to FIDE, its members and Participants in FIDE competitions for which regulations are prescribed in Section D of the FIDE Handbook (FIDE Competitions)

WHEREAS in keeping with the desire of the Olympic Movement to act in the best interests of competitors and other persons concerned whose rights to justice must be safeguarded, the FIDE Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations include provisions to enable appeals to be lodged with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against certain decisions rendered in application of such Regulations

Upon the authority of the FIDE General Assembly the FIDE Presidential Board adopts these Regulations with immediate effect

CHAPTER I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Article 1

DEFINITIONS

BLOOD DOPING means the administration of blood, red blood cells and related blood products to a competitor, which may be preceded by withdrawal of blood from the competitor who continues to train in such a blood-depleted state

INTENTIONAL DOPING means doping in circumstances where it is established, or may reasonably be presumed, that any Participant acted knowingly or in circumstances amounting to gross negligence

MASKING AGENT means any substance or procedure used for the purpose of or having the effect of altering or suppressing the integrity of urine or other samples used in doping controls

PARTICIPANT means any competitor, coach, trainer, official, medical or para-medical personnel working with or treating competitors participating in or preparing for sports competitions of the Olympic Games, those competitions to which the IOC grants its patronage or support and all competitions organized under the authority, whether direct or delegated, of FIDE, an NCF or NOC including FIDE Competitions

PHARMACEUTICAL, CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL MANIPULATION means the use of substances and methods, including masking agents which alter, attempt to alter or may reasonably be expected to alter the integrity and validity of urine or other samples used in doping controls, including, without limitation, catheterisation, diuretics, urine substitution and/or tampering, inhibition of renal excretion such as by probenicid and Related Substances and alterations of testosterone and epitestosterone measurements such as epitestosterone application or bromantan administration

PROHIBITED METHOD means any method so described in these Regulations

PROHIBITED SUBSTANCE means any substance so described in these Regulations

RELATED SUBSTANCE means any substance having pharmacological action and/or chemical structure similar to a Prohibited Substance or any other substance referred to in these Regulations

TRAFFICKING shall be deemed to occur when a person, without having expressly received prior authorisation from the competent body,

1. manufactures, extracts, transforms, prepares, stores, expedites, transports, imports, exports, transits, offers subject to payment or free of charge, distributes, sells, exchanges, undertakes the brokerage of, obtains in any form, prescribes, commercialises, makes over, accepts, possesses, holds, buys or acquires in any manner prohibited doping substances;.

3. is party to Prohibited Methods

USE means the application, ingestion, inhalation, injection, consumption by any means whatsoever of any Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method. Use includes counselling the use of, permitting the use of or condoning the use of any Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method

These Regulations applies to all Participants

All competitors are subject to doping controls (urine analyses, blood tests and other authorised techniques for detecting prohibited substances or methods)

Notwithstanding the obligations of other Participants to comply with the provisions of these Regulations, it is the personal responsibility of any competitor, subject to the provisions of these Regulations, to ensure that he/she does not use or allow the use of any Prohibited Substance or any Prohibited Method

The list of Prohibited Substances and Prohibited Methods contained in these Regulations may be changed by the IOC Executive Board upon recommendation by the Council of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and will come into effect three months, or such shorter delay as shall be specified in cases of medical necessity, after FIDE, the NCFs and the NOCs have been notified, in such manner as shall be determined by WADA.

CHAPTER II. THE OFFENCE OF DOPING AND ITS PUNISHMENT

Doping contravenes the fundamental principles of Olympism and sports and medical ethics

Recommending, proposing, authorizing, condoning or facilitating the use of any substance or method covered by the definition of doping or trafficking therein is also forbidden

Doping is

the use of an expedient (substance or method) which is potentially harmful to a competitor's health and/or capable of enhancing their performance, or

In a case of doping, the penalties for a first offence are as follows:

if the Prohibited Substance used is ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine, caffeine, strychnine or related substances

a ban on participation in chess competitions in any capacity whatsoever

a fine of up to US$ 100,000

suspension from any competition for a period of one to six months

if the Prohibited Substance used is one other than those referred to in paragraph a) above

a ban on participation in chess competitions in any capacity whatsoever

a fine of up to US$ 100,000;.

suspension from any competition for a minimum period of two years. However, based on specific, exceptional circumstances to be evaluated in the first instance by the competent FIDE bodies, there may be a provision for a possible modification of the two-year sanction

manoeuvres or manipulation that may prevent or distort any test contemplated in these Regulations

refusal to undergo any test contemplated in these Regulations

doping for which responsibility is imputable to an official or the competitor's entourage

complicity or other forms of involvement in an act of doping by members of a medical, pharmaceutical or related profession

if the Prohibited Substance used is ephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine, caffeine or strychnine and related substances

a ban on participation in chess competitions in any capacity whatsoever

suspension from any competition for a period of two to eight years

if the Prohibited Substance used is one other than those referred to in paragraph a) above or if it is a repeat offence (a repeat offence being constituted by a further case of doping perpetrated within a period of ten years after the preceding sanction, whatever form it took and whatever the reason for it, became final)

a life ban on participation in any chess event in any capacity whatsoever

suspension (between four years and life) from all chess competition

Any case of doping during a competition automatically leads to invalidation of the result obtained (with all its consequences, including forfeit of any medals and prizes), irrespective of any other sanction that may be applied, subject to the provisions of point 4 of this article

In the event that a competitor who is a member of a team is found guilty of doping, the relevant rules of FIDE or its members concerned shall be applied

The penalty for an offence committed by a competitor and detected on the occasion of an out-of-competition test as determined by the FIDE Medical Commission shall be the same, mutatis mutandis, and shall take effect from the date the positive result was recorded or the date on which the final judgement further to an appeal is pronounced, whichever is the more recent.

The penalties for trafficking in Prohibited Substances are as follows

In the event of trafficking in Prohibited Substances the penalty will be suspension for life from participation in any sports organisation, body, activity or event in any capacity whatsoever

In addition, the offence(s) may be reported to the competent administrative and judicial authorities by any interested physical or legal person

Any attempt to perform trafficking shall be penalised in the same manner as the act itself

For persons found guilty of trafficking, ignorance of the nature or composition of the Prohibited Substances or the nature or effects of the methods in question does not constitute attenuating circumstances or grounds for exemption from punishment

The penalties set out in these Regulations may be applied concurrently insofar as they are compatible and may be accompanied with measures prescribing regular or unannounced tests of the competitor concerned over a specified period of time

Intentional doping can be proved by any means whatsoever, including presumption

Evidence obtained from metabolic profiles and/or isotopic ratio measurements may be used to draw definitive conclusions regarding the use of anabolic androgenic steroids

An epitestosterone concentration in the urine greater than 200 nanograms per millilitre will be investigated by studies for testosterone

The success or failure of the use of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method is not material. It is sufficient that the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method was used or attempted for the offence of doping to be considered as consummated.

FIDE is entitled to carry out doping control on any competitor in any FIDE Competition

The actual conduct of doping control at FIDE Competitions shall be the responsibility of the FIDE Medical Commission except where specifically delegated by the FIDE Medical Commission to a subordinate agency

The procedures for Doping Control at FIDE Competitions shall be decided by the FIDE Medical Commission in accordance with the principles contained in Appendix C

At all other events (except where doping control is carried out under the rules of another sporting body) the NCF conducting the controls or in whose territory an event is held shall be responsible for conducting doping control and shall adopt the procedures set forth in these Regulations and shall report the results thereof to the FIDE Medical Commission

Where doping control results in a positive test on a competitor, who is not a member of the NCF who conducted the doping control, the NCF who conducted the doping control shall, as soon as possible, report the results of such tests to the NCF which normally exercises jurisdiction over such competitor

Where a doping offence has taken place in any FIDE Competition disciplinary proceedings will take place in two stages: (i) suspension; (ii) hearing before a FIDE Tribunal comprising not less than three members

The competitor shall be suspended from the time that there is evidence that a doping offence has taken place as certified in writing by the FIDE Medical Commission and any prize money or trophy to which that competitor shall be entitled shall be retained by the organiser of the FIDE Competition pending the decision of the FIDE Tribunal on the case in question

When a competitor is notified that it is believed that a doping offence has taken place and that he or she is suspended he or she shall be served with a notice informing him or her of his or her right to an oral hearing before a FIDE Tribunal. If the competitor does not request in writing such an oral hearing within 28 days he or she shall be deemed to have waived his or her right to an oral hearing and the FIDE Tribunal shall proceed based on written evidence and submissions only

The panel of members of FIDE Tribunals shall initially comprise the members of the FIDE Ethics Commission and as from 2002 shall be appointed by the FIDE General Assembly

At the hearing before a FIDE Tribunal the members of the Tribunal shall only find that a doping offence has been committed if they are satisfied that the same has been proved beyond reasonable doubt

If a doping offence is proved the FIDE Tribunal shall decide upon the penalty (if any) to be imposed in accordance with these Regulations

CHAPTER III. APPEALS

Article 1

Any Participant affected by a decision rendered in application of these Regulations by FIDE , the IOC, an NCF, an NOC or other body may appeal from that decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, in accordance with the provisions applicable before such court

Article 2

Accredited laboratories are presumed to have conducted testing and custodial procedures in accordance with prevailing and acceptable standards of scientific practice. This presumption can be rebutted by convincing evidence to the contrary, but the accredited laboratory shall have no onus in the first instance to show that it conducted the procedures other than in accordance with its customary practices

Article 3

The inclusion of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method in these Regulations is not subject to appeal

Article 4

Parties appealing from decisions are expected, as is the Court of Arbitration for Sport, to proceed with all due despatch, in the understanding that there must be early certainty with respect to all decisions involving sport

The Court of Arbitration for Sport is entitled to draw inferences from dilatory behaviour on the part of any party appearing before it

Article 5

The Court of Arbitration for Sport may award costs against a party whose appeal is judged to be vexatious, frivolous, dilatory or otherwise abusive

Article 6

Participants shall accept the individual or joint obligation to submit disputes concerning the application of these Regulations to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Such acceptance is presumed by the very fact of participation by the Participants in the Olympic Movement. Any de facto refusal of such acceptance shall result in the Participants being considered as having excluded themselves from the Olympic Movement and thus from FIDE Competitions

CHAPTER IV. WORLD ANTI-DOPING AGENCY

Article 1

The World Anti-Doping Agency shall have the mission, structure and responsibilities set forth in the documents establishing its existence..

CHAPTER V. ACCREDITED LABORATORIES

Article 1

For purposes of these Regulations, only those laboratories accredited by WADA are qualified to undertake the detection of the presence of Prohibited Substances and the use of Prohibited Methods

Article 2

Any laboratory alleging accreditation by WADA shall be required, upon demand, to produce a certificate valid as of the date of the relevant test, procedure or analysis. WADA may also provide evidence as to the existence of such accreditation

Article 3

The procedure for accreditation of laboratories is provided by WADA

Article 4

The requirements in reporting is provided by WADA.

CHAPTER VI. TESTING PROCEDURES

Article 1

The procedures for selection of competitors (other than for out-of-competition tests), collection of samples and sample analysis are contained in Appendix "C" to these Regulations

Article 2

A result is positive when the "A" sample is positive and any such result may be acted upon for purposes of any competition or out-of-competition test. A Participant may, however, request that the "B" sample be analysed

Should the analysis show the "B" sample not confirm the result of the analysis of the "A" sample

(a) no further sanctions shall apply, but the initial sanction (disqualification) shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, however

(b) if, without otherwise affecting the competition, it is still possible for the Participant to be reinserted, the Participant may continue to take part in the competition. (For example, if a Participant is entered in more than one event and the second has not commenced, it may be possible to enter the second event. Similarly, depending upon the relevant rules in a team sport, if the team is still in competition, the Participant may be able to take part in future games.)

Article 3

A FIDE Tribunal constituted in accordance with Article 6 of Chapter II of these Regulations is the only organ competent to rule on the effects of a positive result during a FIDE Competition. It shall request the advice of the FIDE Medical Commission prior to acting on any positive result

In all other competitions organised by or under the authority of FIDE or an NCF, the competent organ of FIDE or such NCF shall be solely responsible for the application of these Regulations in relation to such competitions as well as in relation to all tests which have been conducted out-of-competition..

In competitions organised under the authority of the IOC itself or Continental Associations of NOCs, the Executive Committees of such associations shall be the competent bodies to rule on the effects of a positive result during such competitions

Each body concerned shall advise the FIDE Medical Commission of all positive results and the dispositions made in respect thereof and provide such data in respect of all tests, whether positive results or otherwise, as may be requested by the FIDE Medical Commission

Article 4

Minor irregularities, which cannot reasonably be considered to have affected the results of otherwise valid tests, shall have no effect on such results. Minor irregularities do not include the chain of custody of the sample, improper sealing of the container(s) in which the sample is stored, failure to request the signature of the competitor or failure to provide the competitor with an opportunity to be present or be represented at the opening and analysis of the "B" sample if analysis of the "B" sample is requested.

Article 5

At all times, under these regulations, the rules of IOC/WADA shall be applied by the FIDE Medical Commission whenever required.

CHAPTER VII. ENTRY INTO FORCE AND MODIFICATION OF THE FIDE ANTI-DOPING DISCIPLINARY REGULATIONS

Article 1

These Regulations shall enter into force with effect from 17 August 2001.

Article 2

Apart from Appendix A as provided in Chapter I Article 4, these Regulations may be modified only by the FIDE Presidential Board, at the instance of or in consultation with the IOC or WADA. The Modifications come into effect within the dates presented by the IOC or WADA or within three months after the NCF's and the NOC's have been notified in such manner as shall be determined by the FIDE Presidential Board..

Such certificate shall specify the name of the laboratory and the period for which the certificate shall be valid. Certificates may be issued after the effective date, with retroactive effect

APPENDIX C. SAMPLING PROCEDURES IN DOPING CONTROLS

The procedures which follow are those applicable to FIDE Competitions. In other competitions, as well as in out-of- competition testing, if the FIDE Medical Commission shall determine that out-of-competition testing shall be introduced, the same procedures shall apply, mutatis mutandis

The FIDE Medical Commission, with the co operation of the NCF concerned and the Organising Committee, shall decide the number of competitors to be subjected to doping control per day in each competition. The available capacity of the laboratory shall be given due consideration

The FIDE Medical Commission and the representative of the NCF concerned shall determine the number of competitors in each competition to undergo a control, in accordance with the total number agreed upon under paragraph 1.2. In general, these controls will include the first four competitors in the final classification and others chosen at random

Where a FIDE Competition or other relevant competition is not directly organised by FIDE, before the beginning of the FIDE Competition or other relevant competition the Organising Committee thereof shall inform the FIDE Medical Commission as to the means of selecting those competitors to be checked at random

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FIDE Medical Commission shall have the right to request, without justifying the reason therefore, that any competitor undergo a doping control at any time during the relevant competition

A competitor may be subject to doping control on more than one occasion during the competition

Immediately after the completion of a game in a competition or after the determination of the final results, the competitors elected for doping control shall be handed a Doping Control Notification by a Doping Control Escort appointed by the FIDE Medical Commission or Organising Committee as the case may be, hereafter referred to as the Escort. The Escort shall also give a Doping Control Pass which provides access to the Doping Control Station to the competitor. From then on the Escort shall be physically beside the competitor and keep the competitor under observation at all times and accompany him or her to the waiting room at the Doping Control Station designated on the Doping Control Notification. The competitor shall report with his/her accreditation card and Doping Control Pass to the Doping Control Station immediately and no later than one hour after receipt of the Doping Control Notification

A person (a team coach, a doctor or a team-mate of the competitor's delegation) may accompany the competitor to the Doping Control station and may watch all procedures except urination. He or she shall be given a Doping Control Pass by the Escort in order to be able to enter the Doping Control Station. This accompanying person shall possess proper accreditation and shall be a member of the same delegation as the competitor except, in special circumstances, the competitor may choose a member of another NCF

The Doping Control Notification shall bear the competitor's name, accreditation and starting numbers, if available, and the statement that an accompanying person may be present when the competitor reports for Doping Control. The competitor has to be warned, by clear written notice in the Notification, of the possible consequences should he/she fail to report for the doping control within the given time limit

Upon presentation of the Doping Control Notification the escort shall enter the time of notification and the competitor shall sign the form. The Doping Control Notification shall be in duplicate, one copy to be kept by the competitor and the original to be returned to the Doping Control Station by the Escort

Upon arrival at the Doping Control station, the competitor and the accompanying person shall show their Doping Control Passes. The competitor and the escort shall hand the Doping Control Notification to a Doping Control Officer who records the actual time of arrival on the Doping Control Notification, signs it and verifies the identity of the competitor by means of the photo, name and accreditation number on the accreditation card

The Doping Control Officer shall keep the Doping Control Notification returned by the Escort and return the copy to the competitor

The actual time of arrival and the identity of the competitor shall then be noted on the Doping Control Official Record

Should the competitor refuse to sign the Doping Control Notification or fail to report to the Doping Control Station within the time laid down in section 2.1, this fact shall be noted on the Doping Control Official Record. In this case the Doping Control Official record shall be signed by the Doping Control officer and the representative of the FIDE Medical Commission and the representative of the NCF concerned, if present. In addition, the Chairman of the FIDE Medical Commission or his designated Deputy shall be informed immediately by the representative of the FIDE Medical Commission. The Chairman of the FIDE Medical Commission or his designated Deputy shall then decide on the further steps to be taken

Should the competitor report to the Doping Control Station later than one hour after the time of notification this fact shall be noted on the Doping Control Notification and the Doping Control Official Record. The sampling procedures shall still be carried out, as described below. The representative of the FIDE Medical Commission shall inform the Chairman of the FIDE Medical Commission or his designated Deputy immediately..

The competitor and the accompanying person shall remain in the Doping Control station waiting room under the supervision of the Doping Control Officer until he or she is called into a consulting area. The competitor and any personal belongings he/she or the accompanying person bring with them (clothing, bags, etc.) may be searched for evidence of manipulation, upon entering and leaving the Doping Control Station

No photographs, video or tape recordings may be taken inside the Doping Control Station during the doping control procedure

The original of the Doping Control Notification shall be appended to the Doping Control Official Record

Only one competitor at a time shall be called into the consulting area

In addition to the competitor and his/her accompanying person, only the following persons may be present in the consulting area

	a representative of the FIDE Medical Commission
	the Doping Control Medical Officer
	the Doping Control Technical Officer(s)
	a representative of the NCF concerned
	an interpreter
