Sanctioning Framework of the World Anti-Doping Code 2021: A Proportionate Response to Doping? : Charles University in Prague Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 2020/III/5

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In this working paper, I examine the compliance of selected sanctioning provisions of the new World Anti-Doping Code, which enters into force on 1 January 2021 (&quot;Code 2021&quot;), with the internationally recognized general legal principle of proportionate punishment. I also compare how Code 2021 evolved in terms of proportionate punishments compared to the World Anti-Doping Code currently in force (&quot;Code 2015&quot;). I argue that the new approach towards sanctioning of the ingestion, use or possession of substances of abuse as well as of anti-doping rule violations committed by protected persons and recreational athletes empowers hearing panels to issue a proportionate punishment better than Code 2015. On the other hand, I believe that the strict interpretation of the modified definition of intentional presence, use or possession of a prohibited substance or method would lead to disproportionate consequences for those athletes who knowingly use prohibited substances in competition, but without the intention to cheat. I also believe that hearing panels should apply the reintroduced concept of aggravating circumstances only to the most serious cases of doping in order to avoid disproportionate punishments. To conclude, I consider Code 2021 a step forward for the worldwide fight against doping in sport. On the other hand, I believe that hearing panels will bear a heavy burden to apply Code 2021 so that they always ensure one its goals, to respect the rule law and the principle of proportionality.
