Registered Testing Pool

Registered Testing Pool: The pool of top level Athletes established separately be
each International Federation and National Anti-Doping Organization who are subject
to both In-Competition and Out-of-Competition Testing as part of that International
Federation’s or Organization’s Test Distribution Plan. Each International Federation
shall publish a list which identifies those Athletes included in its Registered Testing
Pool either by name or by clearly defined, specific criteria.
Sample: Any biological material collected for the purposes of Doping Control.
Target Testing: Selection of Athletes for Testing where specific Athletes or groups of
Athletes are selected on a non-random basis for Testing at a specified time.
Team Sport: A sport in which the substitution of players is permitted during a
Competition.
Testing: The parts of the Doping Control process involving test distribution planning,
Sample collection, Sample handling and Sample transport to the laboratory.
TUE: A Therapeutic Use Exemption (see International Standard for Therapeutic Use
Exemptions).

National Olympic Committee (NOC)

National Olympic Committee (NOC): The organization recognized by the
International Olympic Committee. The term National Olympic Committee, shall also
include National Sport Confederation in those countries where the National Sport
Confederation assumes typical National Olympic Committee responsibilities in the
anti-doping area.
No Advance Notice: A Doping Control which takes place with no advance warning
to the Athlete, and where the Athlete is continuously chaperoned from the moment of
notification through Sample provision.
Out- of-Competition: Any Doping Control which is not In-Competition.

Minor

Minor: A natural Person who has not reached the age of majority as established by
the applicable laws of his or her country of residence.
National Anti-Doping Organization: The entity(ies) designated by each country as
possessing the primary authority and responsibility to adopt and implement antidoping
rules, direct the collection of Samples, the management of test results, and
the conduct of hearings, all at the national level. This includes an entity which may be
designated by multiple countries to serve as regional Anti-Doping Organization for
such countries. If this designation has not been made by the competent public
authority (ies), the entity shall be the country’s National Olympic Committee or its
designee.

Event

Event: A series of individual Competitions conducted together under one ruling body
(e.g., the Olympic Games of the Olympiad and the Winter Games, the FINA World
Championships, or Pan American Games).
In-Competition: Unless provided otherwise in the rules of an International
Federation or other relevant Anti-Doping Organization, “In-Competition” means the
period commencing twelve hours before a Competition in which the Athlete is
scheduled to participate through the end of such Competition and the Sample
Collection process related to such Competition.
International Standard: A standard adopted by WADA in support of the Code.
Compliance with an International Standard (as opposed to another alternative
standard, practice or procedure) shall be sufficient to conclude that the procedures

addressed by the International Standard were performed properly. International
Standards shall include any Technical Documents issued pursuant to the International
Standard.

Code: The World Anti-Doping Code.

Competition: A single race, match, game or singular athletic contest. For example, a
basketball game or the finals of the Olympic 100-meter dash. For stage races and
other athletic contests where prizes are awarded on a daily or other interim basis the
distinction between a Competition and an Event will be as provided in the rules of the
applicable International Federation.

Doping Control: All steps and processes from test distribution planning through to
ultimate disposition of any appeal including all steps and processes in between such
as provision of whereabouts information, Sample collection and handling, laboratory
analysis, therapeutic use exemptions, results management and hearings.

Scope

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.]

GUIDELINES FOR URINE SAMPLE COLLECTION

1. Objective
This guideline expands upon the International Standard for Testing and details the
recommended process for the collection of urine for Doping Control purposes, both In-
Competition and Out-of-Competition. The guideline includes on-site preparation, Sample
collection and post-test administration.
With the exception of those mandatory areas which are part of the World Anti-Doping
Program, the processes outlined in this document are not mandatory, but are aimed at
assisting Anti-Doping Organizations in the development of systems and protocols for
urine Sample collection. The method of Sample collection may vary from these
recommendations in some circumstances; however, minimum standards shall apply to
ensure that the integrity of the Sample is maintained in accordance with the mandatory
provisions of the International Standard for Testing.
