The 2021 Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) have taken effect on 1 January 2021. Here are some of the important changes:

• The definition of “Tampering” in Rule 5 now includes giving a false statement or evidence/documents;
• “Attempted Complicity” is included in Rule 9;
• The new Rule 11 has also been added: Acts by an Athlete or Other Person to Discourage or Retaliate Against Reporting to Authorities.

In view of all the changes, HKADC has produced a series of animations on ADRVs for athletes and athlete support personnel to understand the specific conduct and circumstances which constitute ADRVs.

The animations can be viewed at this link:
