The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has tightened the new Anti-Doping rules. The AIU has announced the categorisation of National Federations (NFs) under the new Article 15 of the IAAF Anti-Doping Rules, which had previously been approved by the IAAF Council in July in Buenos Aires.

The rule puts in place an advanced framework for the fight against doping in athletics. The new rules, which come into force from January 2019, make NFs accountable for assisting in the fight against doping and for ensuring appropriate anti-doping measures are in place in their respective jurisdictions. 

According to the AIU, obligations under the previous IAAF Anti-Doping Rules largely rested with individuals, while obligations of the NF’s were limited.
