This document discusses reinforcing doping control procedures for athletes. It outlines the doping control process, including types of tests (in-competition and out-of-competition), athlete notification procedures, the use of representatives, and sample collection requirements. Athletes must be cooperative and knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities during testing. While athlete cooperation is improving, support personnel still need more awareness of doping control rules.

15. Knowledge and cooperation of athletes and
support personnel with the doping control
procedures
In-Competition
Cooperation is needed with the event officials and
host organizers
Many coaches and athlete support personnel are
dictating rules to the chaperones an hindering the
doping control process
Athlete support personnel and officials need to
become more aware of the doping control procedures
Persons must become aware of athletes rights and
responsibilities
16. Knowledge and cooperation of athletes and
support personnel with the doping control
procedures
Out-of-Competition
Some Athletes select times and/or locations that
may be constrictive to the DCO/Chaperone
Locations at times are not totally comfortable for
Athlete
Locations at times are hard to locate
The DCO will not contact athlete for directions
17. Friendly Tips For Out-of-

Athletes are to ensure that the location and
time selected for their one hour time slot is
comfortable and suitable for doing control
DCO and Chaperone must have access to all

throughout entire designated one hour period
19. Avoiding Unsuccessful
Attempts/ Missed Test
UPDATE WHEREABOUTS
INFORMATION!!!
Use locations and time that you are
guaranteed to attend
It is important that once a competition is over and an athlete is to be selected for doping control is notified immediately. Outside individuals should not try to hinder the notification process. The One Hour delay rule no longer applies. All athletes must report to the doping control station immedialtye. Athletes may only request a delay in the process unless….
Athletes, especially those who are familiar with the process tend to rush the process. We want to urge the athletes to thoroughly inspect the sample collection for debris, that it does not have any tears, cracks or holes. The athlete must be comfortable with the vessel they are about to use. It is imperative that the DCO or chaperone has a clear and unobstructed view of the sample passing from the athlete into the vessel.
Athletes should not remove the sample collection vessel from the bag until their hand have been thoroughly rinsed with water only. Athletes are seen to remove the cup before washing hands in a haste. This may cause contamination of the sample due to dirt on the hands on athletes. Contamination may also be avoided if the lid is kept in the wrapper until the athlete washes their hands and provides their sample.
