Here’s an important question, “In what ways are athlete support personnel subject to the anti-doping rules?” Well, athlete support personnel can be subject to the rules through your membership with a National Governing Body. And that binds them to the anti-doping rules, where they can be held accountable for participating in some way in doping activities. Another way they can be subject to anti-doping rules is through the relatively new criminal act called the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act. That act criminalizes doping conspiracies at the highest levels for athlete support personnel who are contributing to doping in events where U.S. athletes are involved, and the World Anti-Doping Code applies.
