8. Missed Tests or Filing Failures Article 2.4 The period to accumulate three Missed Tests or Filing Failures that can result in anti-doping rule violation has been reduced from 18 months to 12 months.

9. Article 2.10 Prohibited Association Association by an Athlete in a professional or sport-related capacity with any Athlete Support Personnel who: Is serving a period of ineligibility; or Has been convicted or found in a criminal, disciplinary or professional proceeding to have engaged in conduct which would have constituted a violation of anti-doping rules (disqualifying status shall be in force for the longer of 6 years from the decision or the sanction imposed) Is serving as a front or intermediary for an individual described above.

10. Athlete Support Personnel Explicitly bound by anti-doping rules Responsibility on NADOs, IFs, NOCs Requirement to have NFs bind their Athlete Support Personnel to the anti-doping rules Automatic investigation of Athlete Support Personnel if ADRV involves a Minor or they have provided support to more than 1 athlete who has committed an ADRV

11. Prohibited List Return to current List criteria after significant debate Two of three criteria must be met: Has the potential to enhance or enhances performance Actual or potential health risk to athletes Contrary to the spirit of sport Detection limits for marijuana increased through change to Technical Document in September 2013

12. Smart Testing Technical Document – Specific Analysis for Sports / Sports Disciplines All sports to have risk assessment process Analysis to be conducted by laboratories accordingly Additional analysis can be done Less analysis – only with WADA approval Effective, intelligent and proportionate Test Distribution Plan

13. Investigations & Substantial Assistance Investigations added into Article 5 (Testing) Increasing importance of investigations and use of intelligence ADO able to obtain, assess and process anti-doping intelligence from all available sources to inform TDP, to plan target testing, and to establish potential ADRV
