UPDATE FROM
WORLD BOWLS1ST JANUARY
2009
ALCOHOL IS NO LONGER A BANNED
SUBSTANCE FOR BOWLS
Beta-blockers are on the
'in-competition' additional list. As such, competitors
required to take beta-blockers, as prescribed treatment for a
medical condition, will need to refer to their medical
practitioner to ascertain whether an alternative, which is not
on the banned list, is available or whether it is necessary to
apply for a TUE.
- THE REASONS BEHIND THIS NEW RULE
-
World Bowls Anti-Doping Regulations were necessarily rewritten
and formally adopted two years ago to be fully compliant with
the World Anti- Doping Agency (WADA) Code. WADA has recently
undertaken a review of our Regulations and have advised that as
members of the Confederacion Mondiale des Sports de Boules
(CMSB), the umbrella body through which World Bowls is
affiliated to the International Olympic Committee and the
official signatory to the WADA Code, it is necessary for World
Bowls to amend certain clauses within our current Regulations
and action certain matters to maintain compliance with WADA and
to protect CMSB's position in terms of compliance with IOC
requirements. The Board has necessarily resolved to take all
appropriate action.
-
ANTI-DOPING POLICY
-
The Bowling League of Ireland and the
Irish Bowling Association
have signed up to
the Irish Sports Council’s Irish Anti-Doping Rules, and drug
testing has taken place at both the men and women’s
championships. However, if a player has a medical condition that
necessitates taking medication that is on the banned list, then
the player can apply to the Irish Sports Council for an
exemption.
(Therapeutic Use Exemption)
can now be downloaded by clicking on the link above.
Such exemptions must be applied for before a
player takes part in the competition.
-
Below is the extract from our constitution on
doping: -
-
-
18. Doping
-
“The Anti-Doping rules of the Bowling League
of Ireland are the Irish Anti-Doping rules as amended from time
to time. All members of Clubs affiliated to the Bowling League
of Ireland are bound by the Irish Anti-Doping Rules, which has
been circulated to each club, as amended from time to time, and
the disciplinary procedures and sanctions contained therein.”
