An athlete’s positive test traces to an unknown contaminated supplement. Which anti-doping principle primarily governs the violation ruling?

Answer

The World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) operates under the principle of Strict Liability. This means an athlete is solely responsible for any prohibited substance, or its metabolites or markers, found in their body specimen, regardless of whether the athlete intentionally or unintentionally used a prohibited substance, or was negligent or otherwise at fault. While 'No Fault or Negligence' (Option B) can be a factor in *reducing* a sanction, it does not prevent the establishment of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) in the first place, which is governed by Strict Liability.

The ‘autonomy of sport’ principle for International Sport Organizations (ISOs) fundamentally conflicts with which public policy need?

Answer

The 'autonomy of sport' is the right of ISOs (like the IOC and FIFA) to self-regulate without external governmental influence. Analytically, this autonomy creates a tension with the public policy need for accountability and transparency, particularly following high-profile ethical and financial scandals. This lack of external oversight is often cited as a cause of governance failure, making the demand for greater accountability a core challenge to the principle of autonomy.
