So, it creates the Sports Tribunal and defines its jurisdiction. The Tribunal will have the authority to hear and make determination of all cases on anti-doping violations on the part of the athletes and the athlete support personnel including the manager and the captain.

26 May 2016 in National Assembly:
Clause 12 of the Bill seeks to provide that the reports of the activities of the Anti-Doping Agency shall be published and made public and a copy provided to the World Anti-Doping Agency.

That is in line with our Constitution that a person must be heard before he is judged. Information must be public for people to know what crime an athlete has committed.
