The change in the article below is suggested so that any National Anti-Doping Organization or National Olympic Committee can suspend an athlete for four years if any of the above criteria is met. Longer sanctions has been one of the big issues prior to the work on the new Code. The new 10.6 and 10.6.x looks like this: 10.6 has been changed from Aggravating Circumstances Which May Increase the Period of Ineligibility to Circumstances in which a Four-Year Period of Ineligibility will be Applied. 10.6.1: The period of Ineligibility for a first anti-doping rule violation under Article 2.1 (Presence of a Prohibited Substance), Article 2.2 (Use or Attempted Use), Article 2.3 (Evading Sample Collection), and Article 2.6 (Possession), shall be increased from a period of two years to a period of four years if the anti-doping rule violation involved one or more of the following: Premeditated doping. A doping plan or scheme, either individually or involving a conspiracy or common enterprise to commit anti-doping rule violations. Multiple Prohibited Substances or Prohibited Methods. The Use or possession of a Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method on multiple occasions . A Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method which, by the nature of its Use in sport, was not likely to have been Used on a single occasion (such as an anabolic steroid, EPO, hGH, blood transfusion, or gene doping). A substance which would be likely to cause a normal individual to enjoy the performance enhancing effects of the anti-doping rule violation(s) beyond the otherwise applicable period of Ineligibility. Engaging in deceptive or obstructing conduct to avoid the detection or adjudication of an anti-doping rule violation. The Code is to be voted on in South Africa in 2013 and will be active from 2015.
