Return to play / sport Normal game playRowan’s Law The law establishes mandatory requirements that call for: • Annual review of concussion awareness resources by athletes, parents, coaches and other designated individuals • A concussion code of conduct, reviewed by athletes, parents, and other designated individuals, to set out rules of behaviour to minimize concussions while participating in sport • Removal-from-sport and return-to-sport protocols, to ensure that an athlete is immediately removed from sport if they are suspected of having sustained a concussion, and that appropriate processes are in place to guide their safe return to training and competition
Rowan’s Law – Return to Learn Process includes: • Inform a student athlete of the importance to disclose any concussion / head injury symptoms with his / her athletic therapist • Have a thorough concussion assessment completed by a healthcare professional • If the student athlete is reporting difficulties with attending class, completing schoolwork etc., obtain a sports medicine physician’s note and referral to the Accessible Learning Centre (ALC) on campus • The student athlete will schedule an appointment with the ALC in person or online • An Accessible Learning Centre (ALC) consultant will meet with a student athlete and discuss their respective needs and create a Return to Learn Plan with the necessary academic accommodations
Rowan’s Law – Return to Learn Process includes: • The Accessible Learning Centre (ALC) initiates a process to notify professors/respective faculties on behalf of the student athlete • A student athlete is directed by the Athletic Therapist / Sports Medicine Physician as to concussion management guidelines • A student athlete increases the amount of schoolwork as tolerated, and the student athlete has not exhibited or reported a return of symptoms, new symptoms, or worsening symptoms
Rowan’s Law – Return to Learn Process includes: • If symptoms return or new symptoms appear, the student athlete returns to the previous stage and only participates in tasks that can be tolerated • Upon completion of the Return to Learn Plan a Sports Medicine Physician will reassess the student athlete and provide Medical Clearance to return to full school activities when appropriate. The Athletic Therapist and/or Sport Medicine Physician will thoroughly explain verbally and follow in up in written form (ie. Email) all protocols and procedures the student athlete must follow. • Until a student athlete has successfully completed their return to learn plan, they must not participate in any physical activity or sport unless prescribed by a therapist or physician.

Global DROGlobal Drug Reference Online

Global DRO provides athletes and support personnel
with information about the prohibited status of
specific substances based on the current World Anti-
Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.
Global DRO will determine if medication is Prohibited
or Not Prohibited
for In Competition or Out of Competition tests.Medical Review A process through which certain Canadian athletes can validate the medical use of a substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) Prohibited List without having to complete the Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) application process. A medical review is initiated after a U SPORTS or CCAA athlete goes through doping control and the sample analysis reveals the presence of a banned substance. The athlete would have their physician complete and submit a medical review application form and documentation to support their medical history.
Medical Review The medical review will be granted by CCES providing the athlete can satisfy all of the following conditions. • Demonstrates by means of appropriate documentation that he or she has a medical diagnosis made by a licensed physician prior to sample collection. • Has a prescription signed by a licensed physician prior to sample collection which is consistent with the finding. • Provides appropriate confirmation that he or she is being followed and monitored by a licensed physician to ensure the treatment plan matches the diagnosis. • Declared the use of the prescribed medication on the Doping Control Form at the time of testing.
Supplements What are the risks associated with supplement use? • Intentionally contain prohibited substances • Unintentionally be contaminated with prohibited substances (e.g., contaminated source ingredients, erroneous source ingredients, cross-contamination during manufacturing) • Be mislabeled
Supplements
Strict Liability:
Athletes have a personal responsibility to evaluate all the
risks associated with the consumption of supplements
before using them and are responsible for any prohibited
substance found in their sample.

Student-Athletes
The Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) defines a student-athlete as an
individual who is an athlete and student competing in U SPORTS and/or
CCAA sport activities and who is not in the National Athlete Pool (NAP) for
any sport.
Under the new protocol, samples collected from student-athletes who only
compete in U SPORTS or CCAA events, not be analyzed for cannabis (List
category S8 Cannabinoids). Accordingly, these athletes will not receive an
adverse analytical finding (AAF), or positive test for cannabis.
To better understand how the new cannabis protocol applies to student-
athletes in Canada go to:

Laurier Student Athlete Philosophy & Accountability • All WLU students are expected to understand that they must behave at all times in a manner consistent with the Wilfrid Laurier University Non Academic Student Code of Conduct (as outlined in the current Laurier academic Calendar), and will be subject to discipline under that Code if it is violated. • The WLU Department of Athletics and Recreation requires that all student athletes conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the tradition of academic and athletic excellence and high values expected at Wilfrid Laurier University. While representing Laurier at any sanctioned event, including attendance at tournaments, invitational events, league events and other related functions, student athletes and team athletic staff shall conduct themselves in such a manner as to ensure that neither the team nor the University are brought into disrepute. The same applies to team practices and to team social activities. • Generally, the Head Coach & Captains are responsible for the establishment and implementation of team rules, behavioral expectations, and team philosophy. The Department of Athletics and Recreation requires that all teams establish team goals and expectations of conduct that meet the requirements of the Non Academic Student Code of Conduct, and are consistent with our commitment to academic and athletic excellence, and in no way detract from the reputation and image of Wilfrid Laurier University.
Student Athlete

The Department of Athletics and Recreation expects all Laurier student athletes to adhere to
the following Student Athlete Code of Conduct. Failure to adhere to the provisions laid out here
will have serious consequences.
1. WLU student athletes are required to behave in a manner which reflects well on the image
of Wilfrid Laurier University by treating teammates, opponents, officials, spectators, and
the public in general with respect and consideration.
2. They must abide by all regulations of their sport as set out by the OUA, U Sports, and the
sport governing body.
3. They must conduct themselves properly in the true spirit of sport and sportsmanship in all

vehicles.
5. They must not consume alcohol or illegal/banned substances while en route to or from, or at,
the site of athletic events/contests, in hotel rooms while participating in such athletic
