7. For restricted access entries, it is critical to input any access-related information in the “Additional Note” field of the location. This must include all information necessary for a Doping Control Officer to locate you at the listed address without relying on advance notice (e.g., a phone call).

Examples of the type of information to include in the “additional note” field:

  • Apartment, unit, or hotel room number
  • Gate access code
  • Building or dorm name and/or number
  • Building code
  • Building or leasing office hours
  • Security or front desk information and/or phone number
  • Housing or dorm manager contact information
  • Location directions (e.g., around the side of the house to the cottage at the back)
  • Requirements for accessing the location (e.g., key fob or elevator key are required)

Note: It is important to ensure your name or unit is listed correctly on any call box or buzzer systems and that your unit or door is clearly labeled. You should also notify your dorm or building front desk or security that you are a tested athlete and that DCOs may arrive at any time to reach you.
