PREAMBLE
WHEREAS in furtherance of its role, Federation Internationale Des Echecs (FIDE), in close collaboration with the National Chess Federations (NCFs), the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) dedicates its efforts to ensuring that in chess the spirit of Fair Play prevails, leads the fight against doping in sport and takes measures, the goal of which is to prevent endangering the health of competitors
WHEREAS FIDE's duty to protect the health of competitors and ensure respect for sports ethics leads it to prohibit doping and to oblige competitors to undergo medical tests and examinations, prescribing to such end the sanctions applicable in the event of a violation of the established rules
WHEREAS one of the fundamental objectives of the Olympic Movement is to eliminate completely doping from sport, the adoption by FIDE of the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations reflects the solidarity of the FIDE in the achievement of such goal, and the primary means to achieve this result will be continuing education regarding the ethical values of sport and the dangers, both physical and moral, of doping, these Regulations must be effective to deal with doping cases as they arise
WHEREAS the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations is essentially intended to ensure respect for the ethical concepts implicit in Fair Play, the Olympic Spirit and medical practice and to safeguard the health of competitors
WHEREAS the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations applies to FIDE, its members and Participants in FIDE competitions for which regulations are prescribed in Section D of the FIDE Handbook (FIDE Competitions)
WHEREAS in keeping with the desire of the Olympic Movement to act in the best interests of competitors and other persons concerned whose rights to justice must be safeguarded, the FIDE Anti-Doping Disciplinary Regulations include provisions to enable appeals to be lodged with the Court of Arbitration for Sport against certain decisions rendered in application of such Regulations
Upon the authority of the FIDE General Assembly the FIDE Presidential Board adopts these Regulations with immediate effect

(a) no further sanctions shall apply, but the initial sanction (disqualification) shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, however
(b) if, without otherwise affecting the competition, it is still possible for the Participant to be reinserted, the Participant may continue to take part in the competition. (For example, if a Participant is entered in more than one event and the second has not commenced, it may be possible to enter the second event. Similarly, depending upon the relevant rules in a team sport, if the team is still in competition, the Participant may be able to take part in future games.)
Article 3
A FIDE Tribunal constituted in accordance with Article 6 of Chapter II of these Regulations is the only organ competent to rule on the effects of a positive result during a FIDE Competition. It shall request the advice of the FIDE Medical Commission prior to acting on any positive result
In all other competitions organised by or under the authority of FIDE or an NCF, the competent organ of FIDE or such NCF shall be solely responsible for the application of these Regulations in relation to such competitions as well as in relation to all tests which have been conducted out-of-competition..
In competitions organised under the authority of the IOC itself or Continental Associations of NOCs, the Executive Committees of such associations shall be the competent bodies to rule on the effects of a positive result during such competitions
Each body concerned shall advise the FIDE Medical Commission of all positive results and the dispositions made in respect thereof and provide such data in respect of all tests, whether positive results or otherwise, as may be requested by the FIDE Medical Commission
Article 4
Minor irregularities, which cannot reasonably be considered to have affected the results of otherwise valid tests, shall have no effect on such results. Minor irregularities do not include the chain of custody of the sample, improper sealing of the container(s) in which the sample is stored, failure to request the signature of the competitor or failure to provide the competitor with an opportunity to be present or be represented at the opening and analysis of the "B" sample if analysis of the "B" sample is requested.
Article 5
At all times, under these regulations, the rules of IOC/WADA shall be applied by the FIDE Medical Commission whenever required.

The Escort shall also give a Doping Control Pass which provides access to the Doping Control Station to the competitor. From then on the Escort shall be physically beside the competitor and keep the competitor under observation at all times and accompany him or her to the waiting room at the Doping Control Station designated on the Doping Control Notification. The competitor shall report with his/her accreditation card and Doping Control Pass to the Doping Control Station immediately and no later than one hour after receipt of the Doping Control Notification
2.2 A person (a team coach, a doctor or a team-mate of the competitor's delegation) may accompany the competitor to the Doping Control station and may watch all procedures except urination. He or she shall be given a Doping Control Pass by the Escort in order to be able to enter the Doping Control Station. This accompanying person shall possess proper accreditation and shall be a member of the same delegation as the competitor except, in special circumstances, the competitor may choose a member of another NCF
2.3 The Doping Control Notification shall bear the competitor's name, accreditation and starting numbers, if available, and the statement that an accompanying person may be present when the competitor reports for Doping Control. The competitor has to be warned, by clear written notice in the Notification, of the possible consequences should he/she fail to report for the doping control within the given time limit
2.4 Upon presentation of the Doping Control Notification the escort shall enter the time of notification and the competitor shall sign the form. The Doping Control Notification shall be in duplicate, one copy to be kept by the competitor and the original to be returned to the Doping Control Station by the Escort
