The provisions of articles L. 231-2 to L. 231-2-3 apply to any licence issued by a sports federation entitling the holder to practice one or more of the sports it organises.
The one-year period mentioned in article L. 231-2-3 is assessed on the day the athlete applies for the licence or registers for the competition.
The medical certificate referred to in articles L. 231-2 and L. 231-2-1 used to establish the absence of any contraindication to practising sport states, where applicable, the discipline(s) for which practising is contraindicated. At the request of the licence-holder, it may cover only one discipline or a group of related disciplines.
