APPENDIX G - FEI CODE ON THE PREVENTION OF THE
MANIPULATION OF COMPETITIONS

PREAMBLE

a. Acknowledging the danger to sports integrity from the manipulation of sports competitions,
all sports organisations, in particular the International Olympic Committee, all International
Federations, National Olympic Committees and their respective members at the Continental,
Regional and National level and IOC recognised organisations (hereinafter “Sports
Organisations”), through the Olympic Movement Code on the Prevention of the Manipulation
of Competitions restate their commitment to safeguarding the integrity of sport, including
the protection of clean athletes and competitions as stated in Olympic Agenda 2020;

b. Due to the complex nature of this threat, Sports Organisations recognise that they cannot
tackle this threat alone, and hence cooperation with public authorities, in particular law
enforcement and sports betting entities, is crucial;

c. The purpose of this Code is to provide the FEI and its members with harmonised regulations
to protect all competitions from the risk of manipulation. This Code establishes regulations
that are in compliance with the Council of Europe Convention on the Manipulation of Sports
Competitions, in particular its Article 7. This does not prevent Sports Organisations from
having more stringent regulations in place;

d. Sports Organisations bound by the Olympic Charter and the IOC Code of Ethics declare their
commitment to support the integrity of sport and fight against the manipulation of
competitions by adhering to the standards set out in the Olympic Movement Code on the
Prevention of the Manipulation of Competitions and by requiring their members to do
likewise. Sports Organisations are committed to take all appropriate steps within their
powers to incorporate this Code by reference, or to implement regulations consistent with
or more stringent than this Code;

e. Pursuant to Rule 1.4 of the Olympic Charter, all Sports Organisations bound by the Olympic
Charter agree to respect this Code;

f. These Sports Organisations are responsible for the implementation of the present Code
within their own jurisdiction, including educational measures;

g. Therefore the Olympic Movement Code on the Prevention of the Manipulation of
Competitions is hereby incorporated by the FEI in its Rules and Regulations.
