According to Article I.2.1 of the International Standard for Testing and Investigations, if the Anti-Doping Organization intends to use the blood sample in the framework of the Athlete's Biological Passport program, the sample shall not be collected within two hours of the athlete's training or competition.
In view of the above, we would kindly ask athletes to consider the above when providing whereabouts information and, depending on their availability, to allow a timeframe that allows for a possible blood sample to be taken.
According to the International Standard for Testing and Investigation, if an Athlete is notified for testing, the Athlete must be available for testing until the Sample Collection Session is completed, even if it is longer than the 60-minute time-slot.
