30.20. When the recreation and sports integrity ombudsman examines a complaint, the ombudsman shall inform the sports federation, sports body or recreation body concerned and send it the content of the complaint, unless the ombudsman has reasonable grounds to believe that sending the information could impede an investigation. The federation or body must in that case send the information it holds relating to the complaint to the ombudsman without delay.
The recreation and sports integrity ombudsman shall give the complainant and the person directly concerned by the complaint the opportunity to be heard and, where applicable, invite those persons to remedy the situation which gave rise to the complaint.
The recreation and sports integrity ombudsman shall ensure follow-up on the actions taken by the federation or body informed of the complaint.
If the recreation and sports integrity ombudsman terminates the examination of the complaint, the ombudsman shall so inform the federation or the body. If the recreation and sports integrity ombudsman considers it expedient, the ombudsman may also inform the person directly concerned by the complaint.
