What happens if I am selected for testing, and what are my rights?

A Doping Control Officer (DCO), helped by a Chaperone, runs the sample collection. Testing can be in-competition (straight after you compete, or at any time during an event) or out-of-competition (any time of year, anywhere, including home, training or a hotel).

Once notified you must stay in direct sight of the DCO or Chaperone until collection is complete, show identification, provide your first urine sample, follow the DCO's directions and report to Doping Control straight away unless you have a valid reason for delay (for example finishing a training session, a warm down, further events, a medal ceremony, medical treatment, or finding a representative or interpreter). Evading notification may be an anti-doping rule violation.

Your rights include:

• a representative (if you are under 18, you are encouraged to have one present; they do not directly witness the sample unless you ask or help is needed)
• asking for more information about the process
• requesting modifications if you have an impairment
• an interpreter, if available
• asking for a delay for valid reasons.

During collection: a urine sample is provided in direct view of a same-gender Chaperone or DCO, you seal the A and B bottles, and you declare any medications or supplements taken in the past 7 days. You get an electronic copy of the Doping Control Form by email. Samples go to a WADA-accredited laboratory.
