Understand the Rules of Governance

The Athletics Integrity Unit has a clearly defined remit and structure that is fully independent of World Athletics.

It is important for all members of the athletics family to understand not only the processes under which the Athletics Integrity Unit operates, but also all the rules that make the sport of athletics what it is today, ranging from disciplinary tribunal rules to eligibility and competition rules for athletes.
