COMMITTEES
The PRO LEI TAI administration is assisted in its work by a number of Committees (elected by the General Assembly) and Commissions (appointed by the Board of Directors) made up of expert advisers coming from within the sport of LEI TAI and outside. As volunteers with different backgrounds and nationalities, they bring a wealth of different experience and are committed to making PRO LEI TAI® an outstanding example of good governance and athlete-oriented sport development.
Elected Committees
The Anti-doping, Anti-doping Disciplinary, Arbitration, Disciplinary, Financial Audit and Nominations Committees are elected by the General Assembly:
ANTI-DOPING COMMITTEE
The Anti-Doping Panel is the independent jurisdictional organ of the PRO LEI TAI for Anti-Doping matters. It considers and decides on anti-doping rule violations referred to it by the PRO LEI TAI Medical Committee according to the provisions of the PRO LEI TAI Anti-Doping Rules. Members of the Anti-Doping Panel cannot at the same time be members of the PRO LEI TAI Executive Committee or any other PRO LEI TAI Committee. Members of the Anti-Doping Panel exercise their duties independently according to the doctrines of the trias politica (separation of powers between legislature, executive and judiciary) and are not bound by any instructions of other PRO LEI TAI organs regarding these duties.
DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE
The PRO LEI TAI Disciplinary Committee is responsible for the management and resolution of any asserted violations of the PRO LEI TAI Code of Ethics and other PRO LEI TAI Rules and Procedures, except for asserted violations of anti-doping rules which come under the jurisdiction of the PRO LEI TAI Anti-doping Disciplinary Committee. Any complaints, disputes or appeals arising from decisions of the PRO LEI TAI Disciplinary Committee will be settled by the PRO LEI TAI Arbitration Panel which is independent of the Disciplinary Committee.
MEDICAL COMMITTEE
The PRO LEI TAI has committed itself to enacting doping controls at The World Lei Tai Tournaments according to the policies and standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency. The PRO LEI TAI Medical Commission is responsible for fixing all practical modalities for the doping control tests and procedures prior to and during The World Lei Tai Tournaments.
