You have loads of rights that you can’t give up by joining a club.
Even more if you are a professional club player.
And they wish to apply these rules to those who have never joined a club.
I think the issue is how you are interpreting the application of “human rights”.
In the first instance, everyone has a right to medical privacy. However, when you become a professional athlete, you conditionally forfeit that right by submitting to doping controls in order to compete.
If you subsequently register an anti-doping violation on a doping control, WADA or the NADO responsible can deliver a suspension of any length based on the substance. In the case of a serious breach for a one-off offence, that would be anywhere from 2 years to 4 years.
Let’s say your argument is that the violation was not intentional and you did not conspire to violate anti-doping rules. Well, WADA/NADOs may have intelligence which contradicts your version of events and Rule 12 basically acts ancillary to the original charge. So either offer up information as a form of cooperation to prove your story, or refuse to do so, and be charged with failure to cooperate.
You can’t be charged with failure to cooperate unless you are charged with an anti-doping violation, which is already a voluntary forfeiture of privacy, so I don’t see how it violates your rights of privacy.
