Any coach found guilty or complicit in doping offences will see their licence removed. Who does the governing body inform when a coach is removed from its scheme due to poor practice? How does it do this? Removal of an individual from the licensing scheme relates to welfare incidents. Those that are in the public domain are communicated through updates from the Welfare department.

The sport will communicate internally where a coach’s removal from the scheme has an impact on the delivery of programmes.
