outcomes of FIH Events.

In general
The Integrity Code sets out general obligations and anti-corruption rules that apply to all Covered Persons

election to the EB), Committee & Panel Members and FIH Staff.
All parts of the Integrity Code, except for specific obligations applicable to FIH executives and staff (Section D of the Code) apply to athletes, officials and event organisers, by virtue of their participation in or their selection to participate in FIH Events.
