The following rules are subject to changes to conform to the World Anti-Doping Code and theInternational Standards. For the latest versions see the WADA website:www.wada-ama.org - Prohibited List or the World Archery website: www.archery.org.
Please refer to for the definition of technical terms.
At the 2003 Congress held in New York, World Archery adopted the World Anti-Doping Code (the "Code"). TheseAnti-Doping Rules are adopted and implemented in conformance with World Archery's responsibilities under theCode, and are in furtherance of World Archery's continuing efforts to eradicate doping in the sport of Archery.
Anti-Doping Rules, like competition rules, are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played.
Athletes accept these Rules as a condition of participation. Anti-Doping Rules are not intended to be subject to orlimited by the requirements and legal standards applicable to criminal proceedings or employment matters. Thepolicies and minimum standards set forth in the Code and implemented in these Anti-Doping Rules represent theconsensus of a broad spectrum of stakeholders with an interest in fair sport and should be respected by all courtsand adjudicating bodies. Fundamental Rationale for the Code
and World Archery's Anti-Doping
Anti-doping programs seek to preserve what is intrinsically valuable about sport. This intrinsic value is often referredto as "the spirit of sport"; it is the essence of Olympism; it is how we play true. The spirit of sport is the celebrationof the human spirit, body and mind, and is characterised by the following values: Ethics, fair play and honestyHealthExcellence in performanceCharacter and educationFun and joyTeamworkDedication and commitmentRespect for rules and lawsRespect for self and other participantsCourageCommunity and solidarity Doping is fundamentally contrary to the spirit of sport. These Anti-Doping Rules shall apply to World Archery, each Member Association and Continental Association, andeach participant involved in the activities of World Archery or any of its affiliated Member Associations andContinental Associations, by virtue of the Participant's membership, accreditation, or participation in World Archery,its Member Associations, Continental Associations, or their activities, International Events or Events. InternationalEvents are defined as: Competition for World and Continental titles;Competition for Olympic titles;World Ranking Tournaments;Olympic Qualification Events (Continental Qualifying Tournaments);Archery events of Major Event Organisations;Any other Event for which World Archery is the ruling body or appoints technical officials. All athletes entering the International Registered Testing Pool ("RTP") and all athletes being eligible forparticipation in World Championships shall have personally signed the Anti-Doping Agreement form in Appendix 1,in the actual form approved by the Executive Committee. All forms from minor applicants shall be counter-signed bytheir legal guardians.
It is the responsibility of each Member Association to ensure that all national-level Testing on the MemberAssociation's athletes complies with these Anti-Doping Rules. In some cases, the Member Association itself shall beconducting the Doping Control described in these Anti-Doping Rules. In other countries, many of the Doping Controlresponsibilities of the Member Association have been delegated or assigned by statute to a National Anti-DopingOrganisation. In those countries, references in these Anti-Doping Rules to the Member Association shall apply, asapplicable, to the Member Association's National Anti-Doping Organisation.
These Anti-Doping Rules shall apply to all Doping Controls over which World Archery and its Member Associationsand Continental Associations have jurisdiction. DEFINITION OF DOPING
Doping is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the Anti-Doping Rule violations set forth in of theseAnti-Doping Rules. ANTI-DOPING RULE VIOLATIONS
The following constitute Anti-Doping Rule violations: 39.1. The presence of a Prohibited Substance or its
Metabolites or Markers in an athlete's bodily
Specimen
39.1.1. It is each athlete's personal duty to ensure that no Prohibited Substance enters his body. Athletes are responsible for any Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers foundto be present in their bodily Specimens. Accordingly, it is not necessary that intent, fault,negligence or knowing Use on the athlete's part be demonstrated in order to establish anAnti-Doping Rule violation under 39.1.2. Excepting those substances for which a quantitative reporting threshold is specifically identified in the Prohibited List, the detected presence of any quantity of a ProhibitedSubstance or its Metabolites or Markers in an athlete's Sample shall constitute anAnti-Doping Rule violation. 39.1.3. As an exception to the general rule of , the Prohibited List may establish special criteria for the evaluation of Prohibited Substances that can also be producedendogenously. 39.2. Use or Attempted Use of a Prohibited
Substance or a Prohibited Method
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 to be Used for
an Anti-Doping Rule violation to be committed.
39.3. Refusing to submit to Sample collection
Refusing or failing without compelling justification, to submit to Sample collection after notificationas authorised in these Anti-Doping Rules or otherwise evading Sample collection. Out-of-Competition Testing
Violation of the requirements regarding athlete availability for Out-of-Competition Testing including
failure to provide required whereabouts information set forth in (athlete whereabouts
requirements) and missed tests, which are declared based on reasonable rules.
39.5. Tampering of Doping Control
Tampering, or attempting to tamper, with any part of Doping Control. 39.6. Possession of Prohibited Substances and
39.6.1. Possession by an athlete at any time or place of a substance that is prohibited in Out-of-Competition Testing or a Prohibited Method unless the athlete establishes that thePossession is pursuant to a therapeutic use exemption granted in accordance with 39.6.2. Possession of a Prohibited Substance that is prohibited in Out-of-Competition Testing or a Prohibited Method by athlete Support Personnel in connection with an athlete, Event ortraining, unless the athlete Support Personnel establishes that the Possession is pursuantto a therapeutic use exemption granted to an athlete in accordance with (Therapeutic Use) or other acceptable justification. 39.7. Trafficking in any Prohibited Substance or
39.8. Administration or Attempted administration of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method to any athlete, or assisting, encouraging, aiding, abetting, covering up or any other type of complicityinvolving an Anti-Doping Rule violation or any Attempted violation. PROOF OF DOPING
40.1. Burdens and Standards of Proof
World Archery and its Member Associations shall have the burden of establishing that an Anti-DopingRule violation has occurred. The standard of proof shall be whether World Archery or its MemberAssociations has established an Anti-Doping Rule violation to the comfortable satisfaction of thehearing body bearing in mind the seriousness of the allegation which is made. This standard of proofin all cases is greater than a mere balance of probability but less than proof beyond a reasonabledoubt. Where these Rules place the burden of proof upon the athlete or other Person alleged to havecommitted an Anti-Doping Rule violation to rebut a presumption or establish specified facts orcircumstances, the standard of proof shall be by a balance of probability. Presumptions
Facts related to Anti-Doping Rule violations may be established by any reliable means, including
admissions. The following rules of proof shall be applicable in doping cases:
40.2.1. WADA-accredited laboratories are presumed to have conducted Sample analysis and custodial procedures in accordance with the International Standard for laboratory analysis.
The athlete may rebut this presumption by establishing that a departure from theInternational Standard occurred. If the athlete rebuts the preceding presumption byshowing that a departure from the International Standard occurred, then World Archery orits Member Association shall have the burden to establish that such departure did notcause the Adverse Analytical Finding. 40.2.2. Departures from the International Standard for Testing which did not cause an Adverse Analytical Finding or other Anti-Doping Rule violation shall not invalidate such results. Ifthe athlete establishes that departures from the International Standard occurred duringTesting then World Archery or its Member Association shall have the burden to establishthat such departures did not cause the Adverse Analytical Finding or the factual basis forthe Anti-Doping Rule violation. THE PROHIBITED LIST
41.1. Incorporation of the Prohibited List
These Anti-Doping Rules incorporate the Prohibited List which is published and revised by WADA asdescribed in article 4.1 of the Code. World Archery shall make the current Prohibited List availableto each Member Association, and each Member Association shall ensure that the current ProhibitedList is available to its members and constituents. The Prohibited List in force is available on WADA'swebsite at www.wada-ama.org. Methods Identified on the Prohibited List
Unless provided otherwise in the Prohibited List or a revision, the Prohibited List and revisions shall
go into effect under these Anti-Doping Rules three months after publication of the Prohibited List by
WADA without requiring any further action by World Archery. As described in article 4.2 of the Code,
World Archery may upon the recommendation of its Medical Committee, request that WADA expand
the Prohibited List for the sport of Archery or certain disciplines within the sport of Archery. World
Archery may also upon the recommendation of its Medical & Sport Science Committee request that
WADA include additional substances or methods, which have the potential for abuse in the sport of
archery, in the monitoring program described in article 4.5 of the Code. As provided in the Code,
WADA shall make the final decision on such requests by World Archery.
Methods on the Prohibited List
As provided in article 4.3.3 of the Code, WADA's determination of the Prohibited Substances and
Prohibited Methods that shall be included on the Prohibited List shall be final and shall not be
subject to challenge by an athlete or other Person.
41.4. Therapeutic Use
41.4.1. Athletes with a documented medical condition requiring the use of a Prohibited Substance or a Prohibited Method shall first obtain a Therapeutic Use Exemption ("TUE"). 41.4.2. Athletes included by World Archery in its RTP and other athletes prior to their participation in any International Event shall obtain a TUE from World Archery (regardless of whetherthe athlete previously has received a TUE at the national level). TUEs granted by WorldArchery shall be reported to the athlete's Member Association and to WADA. Other athletessubject to Testing shall obtain a TUE from their National Anti-Doping Organisation or otherbody designated by their Member Association. Member Associations shall promptly reportany such TUEs to World Archery and WADA. 41.4.3. The Executive Committee shall appoint a panel of physicians on recommendation of the Medical & Sport Science Committee to consider requests for TUEs (the "TUE Panel"). UponWorld Archery's receipt of a TUE request, the Chairperson of the TUE Panel shallappoint one or more members of the TUE Panel (which may include the Chairperson) toconsider such request. The TUE Panel member(s) so designated shall promptly evaluatesuch request in accordance with the International Standard for Therapeutic UseExemptions and render a decision on such request, which shall be the final decision ofWorld Archery. 41.4.4. International-Level athletes who are included in the RTP, shall apply to World Archery for the TUE at the same time the athlete first provides whereabouts information to the WorldArchery and, except in emergency situations, no later than 30 days before the athlete'sparticipation at an International Event. 41.4.5. Athletes participating in International Events who are not included in the RTP shall, except in emergency situations, request a TUE from World Archery no later than 30 days beforethe athlete's participation at an International Event. 41.4.6.

which an Anti-Doping Rule Violation occurs
An Anti-Doping Rule violation occurring during or in connection with an Event may lead to
Disqualification of all of the athlete's individual results obtained in that Event with all consequences,

47.1.1. If the athlete establishes that he bears No Fault or Negligence for the violation, the athlete's individual results in the other Competition shall not be Disqualified unless theathlete's results in Competition other than the Competition in which the Anti-Doping Ruleviolation occurred were likely to have been affected by the athlete's Anti-Doping Ruleviolation. 47.2. Imposition of Ineligibility for Prohibited
Substances and Prohibited Methods
Except for the specified substances identified in the period of Ineligibility imposed for
a violation of (presence of Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers), (Use or Attempted Use of Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method) and (Possession of Prohibited Substances and Methods) shall be:
First violation: two years' Ineligibility;Second violation: Lifetime Ineligibility. However, the athlete or other Person shall have the opportunity in each case, before a period ofIneligibility is imposed, to establish the basis for eliminating or reducing this sanction as provided in. 47.3. Specified Substances
The Prohibited List may identify specified substances which are particularly susceptible tounintentional Anti-Doping Rules Violations because of their general availability in medicinal productsor which are less likely to be successfully abused as doping agents. Where an athlete can establishthat the Use of such a specified substance was not intended to enhance sport performance, theperiod of Ineligibility found in shall be replaced with the following: First violation: At a minimum, a warning and reprimand and no period of Ineligibility from futureEvents, and at a maximum, one year's Ineligibility;Second violation: two years' Ineligibility;Third violation: Lifetime Ineligibility.

For violations of (Whereabouts violations or Missed Tests), the period of Ineligibility shall be: First violation: three months to one year Ineligibility;Second and subsequent violations: two years' Ineligibility. 47.5.1. If the athlete establishes in an individual case involving an Anti-Doping Rule violation under (presence of Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers) or Use of aProhibited Substance or Prohibited Method under that he bears No Fault orNegligence for the violation, the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility shall beeliminated. When a Prohibited Substance or its Markers or Metabolites is detected in anathlete's Specimen in violation of (presence of Prohibited Substance), theathlete shall also establish how the Prohibited Substance entered his system in order tohave the period of Ineligibility eliminated. In the event this article is applied and the periodof Ineligibility otherwise applicable is eliminated, the Anti-Doping Rule violation shall notbe considered a violation for the limited purpose of determining the period of Ineligibilityfor multiple violations under . 47.5.2. applies only to Anti-Doping Rule violations involving , use of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method under failing to submit to Samplecollection under or administration of a Prohibited Substance or ProhibitedMethod under . If an athlete establishes in an individual case involving suchviolations that he bears No Significant Fault or Negligence, then the period of Ineligibilitymay be reduced, but the reduced period of Ineligibility may not be less than 1/2 of theminimum period of Ineligibility otherwise applicable. If the otherwise applicable period ofIneligibility is a lifetime, the reduced period under this section may be no less than eightyears.

During such remaining period ofIneligibility, a minimum of two tests shall be conducted on the athlete with at least three monthsbetween each test. The Member Association shall be responsible for conducting the necessary tests,but tests by any Anti-Doping Organisation may be used to satisfy the requirement. The results ofsuch tests shall be reported to World Archery. Once the period of an athlete's suspension hasexpired, and the athlete has fulfilled the conditions of reinstatement, then the athlete shall becomeautomatically re-eligible and no application by the athlete or by the athlete's Member Associationshall then be necessary.

Drug-Induced Encephalopathy Julius-Maximilians University Würzburg, Department of Neurology 1. Introduction Drug-induced encephalopathy is a disease entity often caused by impaired cerebral metabolism that is not attributed to structural brain lesions. However, some drug-induced encephalopathies can develop structural lesions and share other underlying pathophysiological mechanisms (table 2). Leading symptoms are acute or chronic disturbances of consciousness, brain function and personality changes with concomitant neurological symptoms such as asterixis, myoclonias, paresis or seizures (see table 3). Isoniazid-induced encephalopathy was one of the earliest descriptions of a drug-induced encephalopathy (Adams & White, 1965). Clinical symptoms depend on the type and severity of the drug-evoked encephalopathy. A well-described and frequently-reported drug-induced encephalopathy is valproic acid encephalopathy, first described in the late 1970s. This acute encephalopathy was characterized by altered behaviour, worsening seizure control and confusion. After a reduction in the valproate acid dose, the patient's symptoms resolved completely (Chadwick et al., 1979). Encephalopathies have been reported after consumption of several types of drugs as depicted below (table 1).
