heartland of the Free State Goldfields and is approximately 258 kilometres South West of Johannesburg

There will be 27 exciting stages plus Chronograph, requiring in excess of 500 rounds to complete.

accordance with Rule 6.6.2 of the current IPSC Handgun competition rules.

I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones from within the large

IPSC fraternity.

Regards

Anti- Doping

 

In 2004, IPSC issued an official anti-doping policy and amended the IPSC rules accordingly

i.e. Match Disqualification related to Prohibited Substances. The SAIDS

(South African Institute for Drug-free Sport) Anti-Doping Rules, like competition rules,

are sports rules governing the conditions under which sport is played.

Participants accept these rules as a condition of participation in sport and shall be bound by them.

 

Athletes with a documented medical condition requiring the use of a prohibited

substance or prohibited method must first obtain a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) .

The presence, use or attempted use, possession or administration of a prohibited substance

or its metabolites or markers, consistent with the provisions of an applicable

TUE issued pursuant to the International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions,

shall not be considered an anti-doping rule violation.

 

A TUE must be granted by SAIDS as soon as possible and in any event

(save emergency situations) no later than 21 days prior to participation in the event.

This is particularly pertinent to our upcoming Level IV Africa Championships so all competitors,

please ensure you have followed the correct process, if applicable.

The required TUE form is available on the SAPSA webpage, along with a summary of the

SAIDS Anti-doping Policy and rules. Each provincial association has been given a copy

of the Prohibited List for ease of reference so if you need to establish whether

your medication is ‘prohibited’ or not, please contact your local representative.

 

In the case of our international competitors, you need to obtain or be in possession

of a TUE issued by your national, WADA-recognised anti-doping agency.

Please bring a copy of this TUE with you.

 

If you need any further assistance relating to this, please do not

hesitate to contact either myself at chrissiew@unibase.co.za or the SAPSA office.

Alternately you can go to www.drugfreesport.org.za.
