During the 2015 Code consultation process, 315 separate submissions were received. The
submissions recommended a total of 3,987 changes to the Code. In addition, the Code
Drafting Team engaged in dozens of face-to-face and telephonic meetings with stakeholders
to discuss the Code.
Version 4.0 is the fourth published version of the 2015 Code. In between the published
versions, more than 50 different working drafts were considered. In some cases, changes
from the 2009 Code were made in an early published version and then changed back in a
later version based on continuing stakeholder feedback (for example, the initial proposals to
eliminate the B Sample and to change the criteria for adding a substance or method to the
Prohibited List). In several other cases, changes were made to make the Code language
consistent with the legal opinion on Code enforceability provided by Judge Jean-Paul Costa,
the former President of the European Court of Human Rights.
As was the case with the 2003 and 2009 Codes, stakeholder input was invaluable in making
Version 4.0 of the 2015 Code a more clear and effective document. This input has resulted
in 2,269 changes between the 2009 Code and Version 4.0 of the 2015 Code. All of these
changes are reflected in the document, “Version 4.0 2015 Code redlined to 2009 Code,”
which is posted on WADA’s website. This document provides an overview of those changes
organized into seven general themes, including the key changes related to each theme.
There was a strong consensus among stakeholders, and in particular, Athletes, that
intentional cheaters should be Ineligible for a period of four years. Under the current Code,
there is the opportunity for a four-year period of Ineligibility for an Adverse Analytical
Finding if the Anti-Doping Organization can show “Aggravating Circumstances.” However, in
the more than four years since that provision has been part of the Code, it has been rarely
used. Some examples of provisions which lengthen the period of Ineligibility for intentional
dopers include:
Article 10.2: For Presence, Use or Possession of a Non-Specified Substance, the
period of Ineligibility is four years, unless the Athlete can establish that the violation was
not intentional. For Specified Substances, the period of Ineligibility is four years, where the
Anti-Doping Organization can prove that the violation was intentional. (Intentional means
that the Athlete or other Person engaged in conduct which he or she knew constituted an
anti-doping rule violation or knew that there was a significant risk that the conduct might
constitute an anti-doping rule violation and manifestly disregarded that risk.) “

A headbutt is a strike with the head, typically involving the use of robust parts of the cranium as the area of impact. Effective headbutting involves striking a sensitive area of an opponent using the forehead, such as the nose of an opponent. It can be considered a very effective but risky maneuver as a misplaced strike can cause greater injury to the person delivering the headbutt than to the person receiving it.

2014 Victorian Armwrestling Championships

Published on 30 Oct 2014
The 2014 Melbourne Cup proved to be an excellent opportunity for both up-and-comers and old hands to show their metal.
The title for the 80kg right hand class was taken out by Aldo Toma, a new entrant into the rankings at 10th position (37th overall). Similarly, the title for the 80kg left hand class was won by Max Gibbins, a new entrant into the rankings at 5th position (25th overall). Two other noteworthy competitors are Rory Magnobosco and John Bowley, who took second and third respectively in both the right hand and left hand 80kg classes, continuing their steady ratings progress.
The titles for the 95kg classes were taken out by two well-known Victorians, Andrew Lea for the left hand, and Brett Coutts for the right hand. Coutts has recently returned from Lithuania, where he competed in the 36th World Armwrestling Championships and placed 8th in the senior men left 90kg class, and 11th in the senior men right 90kg class.
But Queensland’s Doug Fatafehi continued his domination of the heavyweight class, once again winning both titles for the right and left hands. Fatafehi has moved up two places in the heavyweight rankings for the left hand.
