CHAPTER 4 – PROTESTS AND PROTEST APPEALS These Protest Regulations do not cover Classification or Anti-Doping issues which will be dealt with exclusively under their respective Codes. 4.1 Protests (IAAF Rule 146 1-4) 1. Protests concerning the status of an athlete to participate in a competition (other than relating to Classification and Anti-Doping) must be made to the Technical Delegate prior to the commencement of the competition. Once the Technical Delegate makes a decision, there shall be a right of appeal to the Jury of Appeal. If the matter cannot be settled satisfactorily prior to the competition, the athlete shall be allowed to compete “under protest” and the matter shall be referred to the IPC. In such cases IPC Athletics will be entitled to rule conclusively on an athlete’s status after the event has been completed and the results may then be adjusted retrospectively. 2. Protests concerning the result or conduct of an event shall be made within 30 minutes of the official announcement of the result of that event. The Organizing Committee of the competition shall be responsible for ensuring that the time of the announcement of all results is recorded. 3. Any protest shall, in the first instance, be made orally to the Referee by an athlete or by someone acting on his behalf or by an official representative of a team. Such person or team may only protest if they are competing in the same round of the event to which the protest (or subsequent appeal) relates (or are competing in a competition in which a team points score is being conducted). To arrive at a fair decision, the Referee should consider any available relevant evidence. The Referee may decide on the protest or may refer the matter to the Jury. If the Referee makes a decision, there shall be a right of appeal to the Jury. Where the Referee is not available, the protest should be made to him through the Technical Information Centre (TIC), or other administrative base where official competition administration is being carried out. 4. a) In a Track Event, if an athlete makes an immediate oral protest against having been charged with a false start, a Track Referee may allow the athlete to compete “under protest” in order to preserve the rights of all concerned. Competing under protest shall not be allowed if the false start was detected by IAAF approved false start control apparatus, unless exceptionally the Referee determines that the information provided by the apparatus may be inaccurate. b) A protest may be based on the failure of the Starter to recall a false start. The protest may be made only by, or on behalf of, an athlete who has completed IPC Athletics Rules & Regulations 2013 Updated January 2013 15
the race. If such a protest is upheld, any athlete who committed the false start, and who was subject to disqualification according to Rule 17.9 and 17.10, shall be disqualified. Whether or not there may be any disqualification, the Referee shall have the authority to declare the event void and that it shall be held again if in his opinion justice demands it. Note: The right of protest and appeal in (b) shall apply whether or not a false start control apparatus is used. c) In a Field Event, if an athlete makes an immediate oral protest against having a trial judged as a failure, the Referee of the event may, at his discretion, order that the trial be measured and the result recorded, in order to preserve the rights of all concerned. If the protested trial occurred: (i) (ii) During the first three rounds of trials of a horizontal Field Event in which more than eight athletes are competing, and the athlete would advance to the final three rounds of trials only if the protest or subsequent appeal was upheld, or; In a vertical Field Event, where the athlete would advance to a higher height only if the protest or subsequent appeal is upheld, the Referee may allow the athlete to continue competing to preserve the rights of all concerned. The protested performance of the athlete and any other performance achieved while competing under protest will become valid only if the athlete is subsequently found to have competed within the rules such that the trial is no longer judged a failure. 4.2 Protest Appeals (IAAF Rule 146 5-9) 1. An appeal against a Protest decision is possible and such appeal must be made to the Jury of Appeal within 30 minutes: a) Of the official announcement of the amended result of an event arising from the decision made by the Referee, or; b) Of the advice being given by or on behalf of the Referee to those making the protest, where there is no amendment of any result. The Appeal shall be in writing, signed by a responsible NPC official on behalf of the athlete or team, and shall be accompanied by an appeal fee of €200 or its equivalent in the currency of the country where the competition is being held. The appeal fee will be forfeited if the appeal is not allowed. Such athlete or team may appeal only if they are competing in the same round of the event to which the appeal relates (or are competing in a competition on which a team points score is being conducted).
