The regulations must prescribe a scheme, known as the NAD scheme. The NAD scheme implements the General Anti - Doping Convention and the UNESCO Anti - Doping Convention.

Certain matters must be in the NAD scheme (see Division   2). For example, the NAD scheme must:

  (a)   contain the anti - doping rules; and

  (b)   authorise the CEO to test samples provided by athletes; and

  (c)   authorise the CEO to investigate possible violations of the anti - doping rules; and

  (d)   contain rules (known as sporting administration body rules) that are applicable to certain sporting administration bodies.

The NAD scheme must authorise the CEO to give a person a disclosure notice in certain circumstances. A disclosure notice can require a person to attend an interview to answer questions, to give specified information, or to produce specified documents or things. There are consequences for failing to comply with a disclosure notice (see section   13C).

The NAD scheme must comply with certain rights of athletes , support persons and non - participants . These include notification rights.
