SEC FACILITY FUNDING PROPOSAL
11/10/2018
STATE EQUESTRIAN CENTRE
FACILITY FUNDING PROPOSAL
To all EWA members and SEC patrons,
Equestrian Western Australian (EWA), a not-for-profit organisation, has proudly managed the State Equestrian Centre (SEC) since it was built for EWA Members and the broader Equestrian community in 1985.
The SEC is now 33 years old and requires substantial remedial work and redevelopment to guarantee its future for the next 20 years. EWA in collaboration with reports commissioned by the WA Department of Sport have developed a SEC Redevelopment Proposal that identifies $15 million of required works and the need for a commitment to annual recurring funding for long-term facility maintenance.
EWA has a plan to obtain the required funding and has been actively promoting the SEC Redevelopment Proposal to Federal, State and Local Government. However, we need the support of all EWA members and SEC patrons to help us in this endeavour.
EWA will be contacting all members of the SEC community in the coming weeks to update you on our progress and to seek your support in advocating for this important upgrade.
From the EWA Board

2019 LIST OF PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES AND METHODS FOR HUMAN ATHLETES
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has released the 2019 List of Prohibited Substances and Methods (List). This List comes into force on 1 January 2019 and is published three months ahead of coming into effect so that athletes and their entourage have the possibility to familiarise themselves with any modifications. The 2019 Summary of Major Modifications and Explanatory Notes explains the changes between the 2018 and the 2019 lists.
The List designates what substances and methods are prohibited in- and out-of-competition for human athletes in all sports. It should be noted that athletes who have a legitimate medical reason for using a prohibited substance or method that is on the List may apply to the FEI for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).
We remind you that:
• FEI athletes can be tested anywhere, anytime.
• Athletes are responsible for the substances found in their body and the methods they use if these are on the List.
• The athlete's entourage may also be liable for anti-doping rule violations if determined to be complicit.
Consequently, if there is any doubt as to the status of a substance or method, it is essential that they contact the FEI or their National Anti-Doping Organisation for advice.
