athlete. The witness watches the DCO.
URINE SAMPLE COLLECTION -
DEMONSTRATION
URINE SAMPLE COLLECTION:
PARTIAL SAMPLE

Athletes must provide at least 90mL

of urine during sample collection
Anything below 90mL is considered
a partial sample
Important to produce enough urine
as labs test for nearly 200 substances
The B bottle must have sufficient
urine volume to allow a confirmation
test if needed
URINE SAMPLE COLLECTION:
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Doping Control Officers always test a urine
sample’s specific gravity – the measure used to
determine whether a sample is concentrated
enough to be tested in a laboratory.
Points to note:
A specific gravity measurement lower than the
requirement means another sample must be collected
Athletes continue to provide a sample until they reach
a suitable specific gravity measurement
Don’t drink too much too quickly, as you could end up
with a diluted sample and will have to provide another
Alcohol is not allowed during Doping Control

WHAT HAPPENS TO MY SAMPLE?

Collected samples are securely packaged

Samples are sent to a WADA-accredited laboratory for
analysis
The transportation is tracked and monitored by a chain of
custody procedures to ensure security
Blood samples are always placed in a cool box with the
temperature logger
ADVICE FOR ACCOMPANYING PERSONS
Athlete Support Personnel play a key role in creating a
supportive environment for the athlete
Athlete Support Personnel have a right and a responsibility to
write comments on the Doping Control Form
ATHLETE BIOLOGICAL PASSPORT (ABP)

ABP was introduced in 2009 and established as a pillar

method in detection of doping
ABP is an individual electronic profile that monitors
selected athlete biological variables
Contains athlete urine and blood sample results
which are tracked
Any significant variation from normal can be
assessed for possible manipulation
ABP monitors biological variables that indirectly reveal
the effects of doping over time
ABPs are integrated into ADAMS, the Anti-Doping
Administration & Management System
IN SUMMARY…

Athletes should know and exercise their rights and responsibilities in

the Doping Control process – this includes the right to request a delay
for a valid reason and other modifications to the process.

Athletes should always follow the instructions of the Chaperone,

Doping Control Officer and Blood Collection Officer. Athletes should
also feel free to ask any questions during this process!

Athletes who are unable to provide enough urine or provide a

sample that is diluted will be asked to provide additional samples.

Athletes must complete the Doping Control form correctly and

double check all the details – especially the sample codes!
