GNOC ANTI-DOPING RULES

INTRODUCTION

Preface

These Anti-Doping Rules are adopted and implemented in accordance with GNOC Medical and Anti-Doping
Commission's (GMADC) responsibilities under the Code, and in furtherance of GMADC's continuing efforts
to eradicate doping in sport in Guam.

These Anti-Doping Rules are sport rules governing the conditions under which sport is played. Aimed at
enforcing anti-doping rules in a global and harmonized manner, they are distinct in nature from criminal and
civil laws. They are not intended to be subject to or limited by any national requirements and legal standards
applicable to criminal or civil proceedings, although they are intended to be applied in a manner which
respects the principles of proportionality and human rights. When reviewing the facts and the law of a given
case, all courts, arbitral tribunals and other adjudicating bodies should be aware of and respect the distinct
nature of these Anti-Doping Rules, which implement the Code, and the fact that these rules represent the
consensus of a broad spectrum of stakeholders around the world as to what is necessary to protect and
ensure fair sport.

As provided in the Code, GMADC shall be responsible for conducting all aspects of Doping Control. Any
aspect of Doping Control or anti-doping Education may be delegated by GMADC to a Delegated Third
Party, however, GMADC shall require the Delegated Third Party to perform such aspects in compliance
with the Code, International Standards, and these Anti-Doping Rules. GMADC shall always remain fully
responsible for ensuring that any delegated aspects are performed in compliance with the Code. GMADC
may delegate its adjudication responsibilities and Results Management to the CAS Anti-Doping Division.

Italicized terms in these Anti-Doping Rules are defined terms in Appendix 1.

Unless otherwise specified, references to Articles are references to Articles of these Anti-Doping Rules.
Further, since the GMADC, as the National Olympic Committee in Guam, acts as the National Anti-Doping
Organization in the country, any reference to the National Anti-Doping Organization in Guam throughout
these Anti-Doping Rules shall be understood as a reference to the GMADC.

Fundamental Rationale for the Code and GMADC's Anti-Doping Rules

Anti-doping programs are founded on the intrinsic value of sport. This intrinsic value is often referred to as
"the spirit of sport": the ethical pursuit of human excellence through the dedicated perfection of each
Athlete’s natural talents.

Anti-doping programs seek to protect the health of Athletes and to provide the opportunity for Athletes to
pursue human excellence without the Use of Prohibited Substances and Prohibited Methods.

Anti-doping programs seek to maintain the integrity of sport in terms of respect for rules, other competitors,
fair competition, a level playing field, and the value of clean sport to the world.

The spirit of sport is the celebration of the human spirit, body and mind. It is the essence of Olympism and
is reflected in the values we find in and through sport, including:

● Health
● Ethics, fair play and honesty
● Athletes’ rights as set forth in the Code
● Excellence in performance
● Character and Education
