| The Athletes' Anti-Doping Rights Act,
formulated by the Athletes Committee and approved by the Executive Committee of
World Anti-Doping Agency, is the first document that clearly specifies the
rights of athletes in anti-doping activities. As the prerequisite for athletes
to participate in anti-doping activities, the formulation and amendments of
this document have been controversial, mainly focusing on its name, legal
status, and the non-enforceable rights. With the intervention of sports
organizations, the drafters revised the name of the document and claimed that
it was "not a legal document", which challenged the significance and
value of the document. It is suggested that the document name should be
carefully considered in the future amendments, the legal force or symbolic
legal status should be given after clarifying the relationship between the
document and the World Anti-Doping Code as well as international standards, the
guidance on remedies for infringed rights should be improved, and a complaint
handling procedure should be established. |
