The bill was drafted after South Africa faced the risk of not being able to fly its flag at international sporting events for not complying with the World Anti-Doping Agency’s code.
CAPE TOWN - The National Assembly on Tuesday will pass the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport Amendment Bill to get the country in line with international anti-doping requirements.
In response, the SAIDS Amendment Bill was drafted with proposed amendments to certain sections of the legislation before its introduction in November. Parliament legal advisor Advocate Aadielah Arnold said some amendments include the establishment of an anti-doping agency.
