1 Burdens and Standards of Proof The IOC or the ITA acting before the hearing panel on behalf of the IOC as set forth in Article 8 1 1 of these Rules shall have the burden of establishing that an anti-doping rule violation has occurred The standard of proof shall be whether the IOC has established an anti-doping rule violation to the comfortable satisfaction of the hearing panel bearing in mind the seriousness of the allegation which is made This standard of proof in all cases is greater than a mere balance of probabilities but less than proof beyond a reasonable doubt Where these Rules place the burden of proof upon the Athlete or other Person alleged to have committed an antidoping rule violation to rebut a presumption or establish specified facts or circumstances the standard of proof shall be by a balance of probabilities 3 2 Methods of Establishing Facts and Presumptions Facts related to anti-doping rule violations may be established by any reliable means including admissions The following rules of proof shall be applicable in doping cases 3 2 1 Analytical methods and decision- limits approved by WADA after consultation within the relevant scientific community which have been the subject of peer review are presumed to be scientifically valid Any Athlete or other Person seeking to rebut this presumption of scientific validity shall as a condition precedent to any such challenge first notify WADA of the challenge and the basis of the challenge CAS Anti-Doping Division on its own initiative may also inform WADA of any such challenge At WADA’s request the CAS Anti-Doping Division panel shall appoint an appropriate scientific expert to assist the panel in its evaluation of the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXXII Olympiad Tokyo 2020 8 42 challenge Within 10 days of WADA’s receipt of such notice and WADA’s receipt of the CAS Anti-Doping Division file WADA shall also have the right to intervene as a party appear amicus curiae or otherwise provide evidence in such proceeding 3 2 2 WADA-accredited laboratories and other laboratories approved by WADA are presumed to have conducted Sample analysis and custodial procedures in accordance with the International Standard for Laboratories The Athlete or other Person may rebut this presumption by establishing that a departure from the International Standard for Laboratories occurred which could reasonably have caused the Adverse Analytical Finding If the Athlete or other Person rebuts the preceding presumption by showing that a departure from the International Standard for Laboratories occurred which could reasonably have caused the Adverse Analytical Finding then the IOC shall have the burden to establish that such departure did not cause the Adverse Analytical Finding 3 2 3 Departures from any other applicable International Standard or other antidoping rule or policy set forth i n these Rules which did not cause an Adverse Analytical Finding or other anti-doping rule violation shall not invalidate such evidence or results If the Athlete or other Person establishes a departure from another International Standard or other anti-doping rule or policy which could reasonably have caused an antidoping rule violation based on an Adverse Analytical Finding or other anti-doping rule violation then the IOC shall have the burden to establish that such departure did not cause the Adverse Analytical Finding or the factual basis for the anti-doping rule violation 3 2 4 The facts established by a decision of a court or professional disciplinary tribunal of competent jurisdiction which is not the subject of a pending appeal shall be irrebuttable evidence against the Athlete or other Person to whom the decision pertained of those facts unless the Athlete or other Person establishes that the decision violated principles of natural justice 3 2 5 The hearing panel in a hearing on an anti-doping rule violation including for the avoidance of doubt the CAS Anti-Doping Division may draw an inference adverse to the Athlete or other Person who is asserted to have committed an anti-doping rule violation based on the Athlete’s or other Person’s refusal after a request made in advance of the hearing to appear at the hearing either in person or telephonically as directed by the hearing panel and to answer questions from the hearing panel and
