1. International Federations (IFs) that have signed the World Anti-doping Code (WADC) are required, inter alia, to adopt and implement anti-doping policies and rules which conform with the WADC and to require as a condition of membership that the policies, rules and programs of National Federations are in compliance with the WADC; in this respect, International Federations have to adjust their legal order in accordance with the above commitments towards WADA. Where no such adjustments have taken place, the rules of an International Federation must be interpreted in such a manner that their application finds the Federation in conformity with the WADC.
