13D Self‑incrimination
A person is not excused from answering a question, giving information or producing a document or thing as required by a disclosure notice given to the person on the ground that the answer to the question, the information or the production of the document or thing might tend to incriminate the person or expose the person to a penalty.
However, in the case of an individual:
the answer given, the information given or the document or thing produced; and
answering the question, giving the information or producing the document or thing; and
any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of the answering of the question, giving the information or producing the document or thing;
are not admissible in evidence against the individual in any proceedings, other than:
proceedings for an offence against section 137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code that relates to this Act; or
proceedings in connection with this Act or the regulations.
To avoid doubt, proceedings (however described) before a sporting administration body, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the National Sports Tribunal or other sporting tribunal that relate to sports doping and safety matters are proceedings in connection with this Act or the regulations.
