3. FOR AWARENESS
Aggravation of Sanctions for all Match Official Abuse (MOA) cases from 1 January 2024
The RFU Head of Judiciary, Richard Whittam KC, has issued guidance to all disciplinary panels that any instance of Match Official Abuse (MOA) will be subject to mandatory aggravation of any sanction by a set number of weeks depending on the level of the offence. The additional weeks will be applied to every level of the adult game.
Getting ready for Adult Player Registration
Over the next few months, we will be sharing information to help your clubs and players get ready for Adult Player Registration. Further guidance will be shared in February’s Community Game Update. Clubs can start to get ready for Adult Player Registration by making sure that their current registered players have a verified email address and up-to-date personal details on the Game Management System (GMS).
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2024 Prohibited List
The WADA 2024 Prohibited List came into effect on 1 January 2024. The Prohibited List details what substances and methods are banned in sport and applies to all players regardless of the level at which they play.
