Fault : Fault is any breach of duty or any lack of care appropriate to a particular situation.

Factors to be taken into consideration in assessing an Athlete ’s or other Person’s degree of Fault include, for example, the Athlete’s or other Person’s experience, whether t he Athlete or other Person is a Protected Person , special considerations such as impairment, the degree of risk that should have been perceived by the Athlete and the level of care and investigation exercised by the Athlete in relation to what should have been the perceived level of risk.

In assessing the Athlete’s or other Person’s degree of Fault , the circumstances considered must be specific and relevant to explain the Athlete’s or other Person ’s departure from the expected standard of behavior.

Thus, fo r example, the fact that an Athlete would lose the opportunity to earn large sums of money during a period of Ineligibility , or the fact that the Athlete only has a short time left in a career, or the timing of the sporting calendar, would not be relevant factors to be considered in reducing the period of Ineligibility under Article 10.6.1 or 10.6.2.77 Financial Consequences : See Consequences of Anti -Doping Rule Violations above.

In-Competition : The period commencing at 11: 59 p.m. on the day before a Competition in which the Athlete is scheduled to participate through the end of such Competition and the Sample collection process related to such Competition .78 Independent Observer Program : A team of observers and/or auditors, under the supervision of WADA , who observe and provide guidance on the Doping Control process prior to or during certain Events and report on their observations as part of WADA’s compliance monitoring program.

77 [Comment to Fault : The criteri on for assessing an Athlete’s degree of Fault is the same under all Articles where Fault is to be considered.

However, under Article 10.6.2, no reduction of sanction is appropriate unless, when the degree of Fault is assessed, the conclusion is that No Signi ficant Fault or Negligence on the part of the Athlete or other Person was involved.]

78 [Comment to In-Competition : Having a universally accepted definition for In -Competition provides greater harmonization among Athletes across all sports, eliminates or reduces confusion among Athletes about the relevant timeframe for In -Competition Testing, avoids inadvertent Adverse Analytical Findings in between Competitions during an Event and assists in preventing any potential performance enhancement benefits from Substances prohibited Out -of-Competition being carried over to the Competition period.]
