All responses provided are in financial years. Question 1 (a) The number of anti-doping tests carried out by ASADA on Australian sports participants is reflected in the table below. 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 Number of anti-doping tests 5,141 6,022 5,658 5,205 5,523 Question 1 (b) The number of anti-doping tests carried out by ASADA on Australian sports participants that returned a positive result is reflected in the table below. 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 Number of positive results* 29 20 37 19 25 *Number of positive results does not include positive results where the athlete had obtained a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for the banned substance. Question 1 (c) Banned substances identified in anti-doping tests conducted are reflected in the table below. Explanatory Notes The number of banned substances will not fully correlate with the number of positive results as some athletes samples tested positive for more than one substance or a number of athletes tested positive to the same substance, Parent compound1 names are provided only (metabolites2 are excluded), and The listed banned substances do not differentiate between whether a TUE was applicable in the situation.

Explanatory Notes For financial year 2018-19, ASADA is not required to pay for laboratory costs due to the Government directly funding the Australian Sports Drug Testing Laboratory, as a result the percentage of ASADA expenditure on testing has reduced. Expenditure by Financial Year $5.900m in 2014-15 $5.351m in 2015-16 $5.262m in 2016-17 $6.705m in 2017-18 $4.215m in 2018-19 Question 1 (e) The penalties applied were as follows. Explanatory Notes The following tables reflect the publicly announced anti-doping rule violations in each financial year. The year of announcement may not reflect the number of positive tests during the financial year due to timeframes required in the process.

Presence Two years Question 2 ASADA's testing program combines government-funded and user-pays arrangements. Anti-doping tests carried out by ASADA are paid for by either: User-pays - the sporting organisation that requests the test (representing approximately 48% of total tests in 2018-19), or Government-funded - ASADA tests Australian athletes as part of its test distribution plan (representing approximately 52% of total tests in 2018-19). Question 3 Sport Australia is responsible for administering the National Sporting Organisation Recognition program. Sporting organisations are required to apply and meet the criteria as established by Sport Australia to obtain recognition as a National Sporting Organisation. There are currently nine criteria that must be met to be recognised by Sport Australia, this includes the requirement for the organisation to have a current ASADA approved Anti-Doping Policy. All recognised National Sporting Organisations are subject to ASADA oversight and can be found on the Sport Australia website https://www.sportaus.gov.au/australian_sports_directory 1 Parent compound refers to the substance which would have been used 2 Metabolite is formed by the body following use of the related prohibited substance 3 This entry represents the disclosure of 17 Cronulla–Sutherland Sharks Football Club players following the finalisation of outstanding cases resulting from the Operation Cobia investigation. 4 This entry represents the disclosure of 34 past and present Essendon Football Club players following the Swiss Federal Tribunal's dismissal of the players' final appeal.
