Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2020-08-26.
This bill updates Australia's anti-doping laws to match a revised international anti-doping code taking effect on 1 January 2021.
It amends the Sport Integrity Australia Act 2020 to give the agency's chief executive more discretion over publishing doping violations and to create a new category of person called a 'non-participant' who can be subject to anti-doping rules.
The bill also expands the definition of 'athlete' to include people who took part in sport during the previous six months, and allows non-participants to apply to the National Sports Tribunal for arbitration.
- Introduce a 'non-participant' category into the anti-doping scheme.
