The Sanction Committee shall issue a reasoned decision.
The decision is signed by the chairman of the panel. It is notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by letter delivered against receipt, to the person concerned, to the sports federation and professional league concerned, to the President of the Agency and to the Minister for Sport. Where applicable, the person(s) with parental authority or the person’s legal representative are informed in the same way. The decision is also sent, by any means, to the World Anti-Doping Agency, to the International Federation concerned and, where applicable, to the International Olympic Committee or the International Paralympic Committee when the decision may have an effect in relation to the Olympic or Paralympic Games, in particular by affecting the possibility of participating in them.
The notification of the decision to the person concerned informs him, where applicable, of the effects of the suspension, the consequences of ignoring his suspension, the fact that he may still provide substantial assistance and have the sanction partially suspended and that he remains subject to testing and any whereabouts obligations during the period of suspension.
The decision of the Sanctions Committee or the administrative composition agreement shall determine the terms and conditions of publication of the sanction, in particular setting its duration at one month or, where applicable, the duration of the sanction, whichever is longer.
In accordance with the sixth paragraph of article L. 232-23-6, a decision finding that there has been no violation of the anti-doping rules shall not be published, unless the person concerned has given his written consent to such publication within a period of one month following notification of the decision.
