"VAN" (Sports Desk - 16.12.2025) :: Multiple reports have been received by the ISSF Integrity Unit regarding alleged breaches of the ISSF Integrity code during the European Confederation General Assembly and Elections which took place in Yerevan, Armenia on 25 October. The Integrity Unit met on Friday 12 December to consider the matter. Following advice from the Integrity Officer that there is a prima facie case to answer under the ISSF Integrity Code, the ISSF Integrity Council will appoint an independent Investigatory Body to investigate the allegations and submit a report to the Integrity Council. Any sanctions relevant to this investigation will be applied in due course by the Adjudicatory Body, which is also independent. The Investigatory Body can be an individual or company or other expert appointed by the Integrity Council. As an investigation has been instructed, the Integrity Council will now call for proposals from qualified experts to conduct the investigation. If it is found that there has been a violation of the Integrity Code, the Adjudicatory Body will convene a panel of three non-conflicted members to decide on the case based on the investigation report provided by the Investigatory Body. The independent Adjudicatory Body will also be responsible for applying any sanctions.
