Whereabouts Failures

There are potential consequences for failing to provide whereabouts information in a timely and accurate fashion.

If you don’t submit your whereabouts information quarterly and update it as necessary, or you provide incomplete information, you may receive a whereabouts failure, called a filing failure.

If a doping control officer can’t find you at the location indicated during your 60-minute time slot, you may receive a different kind of whereabouts failure, called a missed test.

Any combination of three whereabouts failures (filing failures and/or missed tests) in a 12-month period, applied by either the CCES or your international federation, may result in an anti-doping rule violation.

Registered Testing Pool (RTP) athletes must keep their whereabouts information up to date!
