2. Scope
This Guideline begins with the arrival of Sample Collection Personnel at the Doping
Control Station, and ends with the dispatch of the urine Sample to the laboratory.
3. Definitions
3.1 Defined terms from the 2009 Code
ADAMS: The Anti-Doping Administration and Management System is a Web-based
database management tool for data entry, storage, sharing, and reporting designed
to assist stakeholders and WADA in their anti-doping operations in conjunction with
data protection legislation.
Anti-Doping Organization (ADO): A Signatory that is responsible for adopting
rules, for initiating, implementing or enforcing any part of the Doping Control process.
This includes, for example, the International Olympic Committee, the International
Paralympic Committee, other Major Event Organizations that conduct Testing at their
Events, WADA, International Federations, and National Anti-Doping Organizations.
Athlete: Any Person who participates in sport at the international level (as defined
by each International Federation), the national level (as defined by each National
Anti-Doping Organization, including but not limited to those Persons in its Registered
Testing Pool), and any other competitor in sport who is otherwise subject to the
jurisdiction of any Signatory or other sports organization accepting the Code. All
provisions of the Code, including, for example, Testing and therapeutic use
exemptions, must be applied to international- and national-level competitors. Some
National Anti-Doping Organizations may elect to test and apply anti-doping rules to
recreational-level or masters competitors who are not current or potential national
caliber competitors. National Anti-Doping Organizations are not required, however,
to apply all aspects of the Code to such Persons. Specific national rules may be established for Doping Control for non-international-level or non-national-level
competitors without being in conflict with the Code. Thus, a country could elect to
test recreational-level competitors but not require therapeutic use exemptions or
whereabouts information. In the same manner, a Major Event Organization holding
an Event only for masters-level competitors could elect to test the competitors but
not require advance therapeutic use exemptions or whereabouts information. For
purposes of Article 2.8 (Administration or Attempted Administration) and for
purposes of anti-doping information and education, any Person who participates in
sport under the authority of any Signatory, government, or other sports organization
accepting the Code is an Athlete.
[Comment: This definition makes it clear that all international- and national-caliber athletes
are subject to the anti-doping rules of the Code, with the precise definitions of internationaland
national- level sport to be set forth in the anti-doping rules of the International
Federations and National Anti-Doping Organizations, respectively. At the national level, antidoping
rules adopted pursuant to the Code shall apply, at a minimum, to all persons on
national teams and all persons qualified to compete in any national championship in any
sport. That does not mean, however, that all such Athletes must be included in a National
Anti-Doping Organization’s Registered Testing Pool. The definition also allows each National
Anti-Doping Organization, if it chooses to do so, to expand its anti-doping program beyond
national-caliber athletes to competitors at lower levels of competition. Competitors at all
levels of competition should receive the benefit of anti-doping information and education.]
