REGULATION 21 (c) Unions shall recognise anti-doping rule violations committed, and sanctions imposed, under the rules of another sporting body and make provision to ensure that the Persons who are subject to such sanctions are unable to play, coach, train or provide any other assistance in any other capacity in connection with the Game. This is applicable at any level of the Game and for the same period of Ineligibility sanctioned in relation to the sport in respect of which the anti-doping rule violation was committed. For the avoidance of doubt, the burden is on a person who is subject to a suspension imposed under the rules of another sporting body to prove that he should be entitled to play the Game on the grounds that the suspension he has received was improperly complied with. 21.28.3 World Rugby may amend these Anti-Doping Rules from time to time. 21.28.4 World Rugby shall do everything possible to award world championships only to countries in which the government has ratified, accepted, approved or acceded to the UNESCO Convention.
