In Competition Testing

Know your rights and what to expect

This is a quick guide to help you understand what you should and can do, during a doping test that takes place at a competition.

  • You will be notified, and must sign consent, on completion of your competition.
  • You must provide photo ID and report immediately to Doping Control. Inform the Doping Control Officer (DCO) if you wish to warm down, complete media commitments or attend a medal presentation.
  • You must be accompanied by and be in sight of the DCO at all times until the test is complete.
  • You can have a representative with you.
  • You should keep a copy of every form. This is usually the pink copy.
  • You should record all medications and supplements taken in the last 7 days. 
  • You can eat and drink but should choose sealed drinks provided in Doping Control.
