The Board may take a decision to close the case if it finds that the offence of which the person concerned is accused has not been established.
This decision shall be notified to the person concerned by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by letter delivered against receipt, as well as, by any means, to the international federation and the sports federation concerned. Where applicable, the person(s) with parental authority or the person’s legal representative are informed in the same way.
If the decision to close the case is taken after the notification of the grievances has been sent to the chairman of the Sanction Committee, the case is no longer referred to the Sanction Committee. In this case, the chairman of the Enforcement Committee is also notified of the decision.
