Board of Justice and Ethics issues sanction: 12 October 2015

Following an incident at the third stage of the 2015 Archery World Cup in Wroclaw, Poland, the matter was referred to the World Archery Board of Justice and Ethics by the World Archery President.

The Board found Mr Jan Lach’s actions according to the basis of reference to have constituted a breach of the provisions of Article 2.2.1 of the Eligibility Code for Athletes and Team Officials and rendered him liable to the application of a sanction.

Summarily, the Board of Justice and Ethics unanimously recommended that the Mr Lach be sanctioned by the World Archery Executive Board and suspended from accreditation in any capacity for any event or activity authorised or organised by World Archery or any Member Association for a period of 12 months from 12 October 2015.

Mr Lach may appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne within 21 days.
