Doping Control: Consequences of non-compliance with Athlete Whereabouts Information requirements

If an athlete fails to meet ASADA's Athlete Whereabouts Information requirements, they may receive written notice from ASADA that they have either failed to comply with a request to inform ASADA of their location (also known as Failure to Provide Information) or failed to be located for a sample after being requested to provide their location (also known as a Missed Test).

If an athlete receives three (3) notices in an eighteen month period (starting from the date of the first notice) for either:

1. failing to comply with a request to inform ASADA of their location; or
2. failing to be located for a sample after being requested to provide their location; or
3. a combination of (1) and (2) above totalling three notices,

ASADA may determine that an ADRV/s has occurred, and the athlete's name and relevant details will be entered on its Register of Findings and the athlete's NSO will be informed. The sanction for the ADRV could range from a minimum of three months up to two years.

For more detailed information on the consequences of non-compliance please refer to ASADA's Athlete Whereabouts Policy available from Resources for Athlete Whereabouts.
