WDSF Ethical Codes 21/06/2012

On 17 June 2012, the WDSF General Meeting resolved to abstain forthwith from applying the sanctions contemplated in the current ethical codes for athletes and officials taking part in “Non-WDSF Events”.

While the WDSF Codes of Conduct and Standards (Athletes' Code; Adjudicators' Code) remain in effect unchanged as Operating Policies, sanctions will no longer be imposed on athletes and adjudicators who choose to participate in competitions not listed on the official WDSF Calendar.

Those athletes and officials who are currently under suspension for having taken part in “Non-WDSF Events” in the past can apply to their National Member Bodies for their suspensions to be lifted with immediate effect.
