Illustration for Integrity Sport and Recreation Act 2023

The law is changing some parts of the Sports Anti-Doping Act 2006. You will see new sections 3 and 4. Section 3 is about the purpose of the Act, which is to keep the Sports Tribunal independent. The Tribunal's job is to implement the World Anti-Doping Code in New Zealand and deal with other sports-related matters.

Section 4 is about what certain words mean in the Act. You need to know what words like "anti-doping rules" and "integrity code" mean. "Anti-doping rules" refers to rules made under section 23 of the Integrity Sport and Recreation Act 2023, and "integrity code" refers to a code made under section 19 of the Integrity Sport and Recreation Act 2023.

The Act also explains what "Minister", "national sporting organisation", "Tribunal", and "World Anti-Doping Code" mean. The "Minister" is the person in charge of the Act. A "national sporting organisation" is a group that represents people involved in a particular sport. The "Tribunal" is the Sports Tribunal of New Zealand, which was previously known as the Sports Disputes Tribunal of New Zealand. The "World Anti-Doping Code" is a set of rules adopted by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
