Dear Athletes,
We kindly ask you to inform HUNADO, as well as your national/international about the fact of your retirement of your active sporting career. HUNADO has issued a separate form for this purpose, please see below. The retirement becomes effective towards HUNADO only when the form is sent.
Legal effects of declaration of retirement:
- Upon receipt of the retirement notification form, HUNADO will notify the athlete of his/her removal of the HUNADO testing pool, after which the athlete will not be required to provide whereabouts information.
- However, an athlete who announces his/her retirement may in future only return to competition at international events or national events if he/she has informed HUNADO in writing six months prior to his/her planned return and is available for testing during this period (including the obligation to provide whereabouts information if requested by HUNADO). We therefore recommend that athletes who only wish to retire temporarily should comply with the above notification obligation.
Failure to comply with the obligation of prior notification referred to in point 2 above will result in the annulment of the sporting results achieved after the "irregular return".
Thanking you for your cooperation and wishing you success in your work,
Hungarian Anti-Doping Organization
HUNADO
