10.14.3 Violation of the Prohibition of Participation During Ineligibility or Provisional
Suspension
Where an Athlete or other Person who has been declared Ineligible violates the prohibition
against participation during Ineligibility described in Article 10.14.1, the results of such
participation shall be Disqualified and a new period of Ineligibility equal in length to the
original period of Ineligibility shall be added to the end of the original period of Ineligibility.
The new period of Ineligibility, including a reprimand and no period of Ineligibility, may be
adjusted based on the Athlete or other Person’s degree of Fault and other circumstances
of the case. The determination of whether an Athlete or other Person has violated the
prohibition against participation, and whether an adjustment is appropriate, shall be made
by the Anti-Doping Organization whose Results Management led to the imposition of the
initial period of Ineligibility. This decision may be appealed under Article 13.
An Athlete or other Person who violates the prohibition against participation during a
Provisional Suspension described in Article 10.14.1 shall receive no credit for any period
of Provisional Suspension served and the results of such participation shall be Disqualified.
Where an Athlete Support Person or other Person assists a Person in violating the
prohibition against participation during Ineligibility or a Provisional Suspension, GMADC
shall impose sanctions for a violation of Article 2.9 for such assistance.
10.14.4 Withholding of Financial Support during Ineligibility
In addition, for any anti-doping rule violation not involving a reduced sanction as described
in Article 10.5 or 10.6, some or all sport-related financial support or other sport-related
benefits received by such Person will be withheld by GMADC, the Government of Guam,
the National Paralympic Committee of Guam and the National Federations.
10.15 Automatic Publication of Sanction
A mandatory part of each sanction shall include automatic publication, as provided in Article 14.3.
