The upper age limits set for access to public grades and posts in the State and local authorities do not apply to top-level sportsmen and women or to top-level sports referees and judges on the list referred to in the first paragraph of article L. 221-2.

Applicants who are no longer high-level sportsmen and women or high-level sports referees and judges may benefit from a reduction in these age limits equal to the length of time they have been on the list mentioned in the first paragraph of article L. 221-2. This period may not exceed five years.
