What isWADA?The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is the international independent organization created in 1999 to promote, coordinate and monitor the fight against doping in sport in all its forms.

WADA coordinated the development, and subsequent evolution, of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code). WADA is engaged in many key activities, including scientific and social science research, education, athlete outreach, anti-doping capacity building, enforcement and monitoring Code implementation. WADA is not a testing agency.

What is The Code?The Code is the document that works to ensure that anti-doping regulations are the same across all sports and all countries.

What is Doping?Doping is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following anti-doping rule violations:

The List of Prohibited Substances and MethodsThe List applies to athletes both in- and out-of-competition. WADA updates the List annually and the most current version is posted on our Web site.

•Extremecautionisrecommendedregarding supplementuse.Evenan“all-natural”supplementcouldcontain

a prohibited substance.

•Beforetakingmedications/supplementsyoushouldalwaysconsult:•theList•pharmacistorphysician

By applying for and obtaining a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) from FIS (if you are included in the FIS Registered Testing Pool) or NADO (for all other athletes), you may be allowed to take certain prohibited medications for specific conditions.

Results ManagementSanctions for violating anti-doping regulations may range from a reprimand to a lifetime ban. The period of ineligibility may vary depending on the type of anti-doping violation, the circumstances of an individual case, the substance, and the possible repetition of an anti-doping rule violation.

Athletes are ambassadors and role models. They have an important responsibility in protecting the integrity of their sport. Part of that obligation means that you will now need to provide whereabouts details so that anti-doping authorities can better ensure all athletes play true.

All about

Whereabouts

Why Whereabouts?Providing whereabouts is about protecting your right to clean sport. Whereabouts information gives the Anti-Doping Organization (ADO) the ability to locate athletes with no notice, which is vital to testing athletes who choose to cheat themselves by doping.

Knowing where athletes can be found for testing is crucial for ensuring effective anti-doping programs.

Who is Included?Very few athletes are in the Registered Testing Pool (RTP) and need to provide accurate and current whereabouts information.

FIS and your National Anti-Doping Organizations are responsible for determining if you are required to provide whereabouts information or not.

What do I Need to Provide?If you are asked to provide whereabouts information by FIS or your NADO, you may be required to provide information such as:

• home address• training information and locations• competition schedules• regular personal activities such as work or school

• For those few athletes included in a RTP, one 60-minute time period a day, where you’ll be available for testing, must also be provided.

Remember that all athletes can still be tested anytime and anywhere. However, for RTP athletes, a missed test may be recorded if you are unavailable during your declared 60-minute window.

09

Some quick facts on updating your

Whereabouts• You may be able to update your

whereabouts details simply by e-mailing or sending an SMS to your relevant ADO.

• There may be consequences if you are not present without a valid reason. If you cannot be located for testing, you have the opportunity to explain why.

• You can choose to have your agent or other representative submit your whereabouts for you, but keep in mind you are still responsible for that information.

• If you are part of a team, your whereabouts information may be submitted by a coach or team official as part of your team’s collective filing.

WADA’s Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS), is an online tool that athletes can access

anytime and anywhere to update their whereabouts information, including by SMS. ADAMS is available in

English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Dutch, Finnish, German, Italian, Japanese, and Russian.

ADAMS is free, easy to use, and its multi-level access control ensures the privacy and security of your

information. Ask your relevant anti-doping organization if ADAMS is something they use

or plan to use in the future.

Don’t Forget!Athlete whereabouts are a crucial step in ensuring that your sport and your competitors stay on a level playing field.

YOU, and you alone, are responsible for your whereabouts.

YOU CAN’T BLAME your representative or agent for inaccurately filing or forgetting to update your whereabouts.

If you are included in a RTP, you must provide your whereabouts EVERY THREE MONTHS so that you can be located for testing.

If you are included in an RTP, REMEMBER, there may be conse-quences for failing to provide accurate whereabouts information. FIS or your NADO will provide you more detailed information on their requirements.
