 The International Sports Federation for Persons with Intellectual Disability (Inas) is looking for an additional member to add to its Anti-Doping Committee.

The organisation, a member of the International Parlamypic Committee (IPC), adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code in 2004.

Tasks carried out by the Committee include in-competition testing at all Inas organised events, an out-of-competition testing programme, therapeutic-use exemption (TUE) management and test-result management.

The new appointment will take on their role on a voluntary basis, with a specific responsibility for overseeing the processing of results and appeals.

"To ensure compliance with the WADA and IPC Anti-Doping Code, and to promote best practice, Inas established an Anti-Doping Committee to oversee all aspects of its doping control programme," said the organisation in a post advertising the role.

"We would like to invite applications to the post of Anti-Doping Committee Member.

"The Committee is comprised of a number of independent practitioners who are responsible for advising and implementing Inas anti-doping procedures.

"The Committee also liaises with event organisers to ensure compliance at Inas world and regional events.

"Anti-Doping Committee members each take responsibility for a specific area of anti-doping procedure/practice.
