| Doping Control, the terminology in sport that refers to drug testing for performance enhancing substances, is the process of collecting samples for analysis as described in the international standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency and specific International Federations. A key component of USADA's mission is to conduct doping controls, both in-competition and out-of competition without notice. Athletes under our jurisdiction include Olympic, Paralympic and Pan American athletes who live, compete and/or train in the United States. |
|
| As of January 1, 2009, please be aware of the following changes not currently reflected in the video links on the following pages. |
|
- Athletes will need to provide at least 90mLs of urine.
- Prior to providing the sample, the athlete must rinse his/her hands with water only.
- After the sample has been collected, urine will first be poured into the B bottle and the remaining urine will be poured into the A bottle.
- pH will no longer be measured.
- Athletes will be required to provide whereabouts information and updates on a Whereabouts Filing rather than providing information on an Athlete Location Form.
- Athletes will be asked to declare blood transfusions within the last six (6) months, medications and/or other substances taken in the last three (3) days (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, proteins, amino acids and other dietary supplements); Local injection(s) of glucocorticosteroids in the last two (2) months; Use of inhaler(s) in last three (3) days; and/or current Therapeutic Use Exemption(s).
