Yes, to a degree. Section 8 of the UCCMS says a searchable database or registry of Respondents whose eligibility to participate in sport has been restricted in some way shall be maintained and be publicly available, subject to applicable laws. It must include enough information to give context to the sanction. Adopting Organizations must collaborate with one or more organizations that maintain such a registry.
Further details, such as a summary or redacted decision or investigation report, may also be publicized in a way that is consistent with the UCCMS's purpose and principles and with applicable law.
