Is a religious exemption available for sample collection?

There are no exemptions to sample collection, religious or otherwise. When possible, we can modify procedures and make accommodations, but if you’re selected, you need to provide a sample.

If you are fasting as part of a religious practice (e.g., Ramadan), you may need more time to produce a sample due to dehydration. In a case like this, the DCO will accompany you until you are ready to provide a sample. Refusing to provide a sample is a violation of the anti-doping rules.
