LAUSANNE (Switzerland) – Following
the mandate to establish an Aquatics Integrity Unit that FINA the Reform
Committee put forward in its recommendations in October 2021 and the FINA Extraordinary
Congress voted to approve on 18 December 2021 in Abu Dhabi (UAE), we are
pleased to announce the opening of applications for the Aquatics Integrity
Unit.
With the postponement of the FINA
World Championships in Fukuoka (JPN) and the FINA General Congress that was
scheduled to take place alongside the competitions there, the FINA Bureau
decided that:
Changes to FINA Rules and
Constitution will take place during a FINA Extraordinary Congress set to be
held in December 2022
Elections for Aquatics Integrity Unit
members will still take place at the earlier FINA Extraordinary Congress that
will be held in Budapest (HUN) on 19 June 2022
The FINA Bureau decision allows
elected members of the Aquatics Integrity Unit to prepare their entry upon
approval of any reformed FINA Rules and/or Constitution. This will help ensure
the Unit will be operational from 1 January 2023.
FINA President Husain Al-Musallam
called today’s announcement a key steppingstone in ensuring sporting integrity
in aquatics.
“With the committed individuals that
the FINA Congress will vote on for the Aquatics Integrity Unit, we are helping
to further ensure a level playing field, safeguarding athletes’ health and
removing any and all forms of misconduct within sports,” FINA President Al-Musallam
said. “Today’s call for people to express their intent to be part of the
independent Aquatics Integrity Unit is a key milestone in our reform work to
ensure clean and fair sport.”
