Drug Testing

Anti-Doping Resources

As you prepare for your upcoming competition, here are some
resources that may save you from making a mistake that could jeopardize your
athletic career:

USADA Doping Control Process

Global Drug Reference Onlineâ„¢

Drug Reference Lineâ„¢
1-800-233-0393

Other USADA
Resources

The use of nutritional or dietary supplements is completely
at the athlete’s own risk – even if the supplement label says
“approved” or “verified.” USADA’s drug reference resources
DO NOT provide information about dietary supplements.

Athletes who participate in this competition are subject to
drug testing performed by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in accordance
with the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing.

BE ALERT – Knowing your rights and responsibilities may save
you from making a mistake that could jeopardize your athletic career. The use
of ALL dietary supplements is “at the athlete’s own risk of committing a
doping violation.”

BE AWARE – Testing may take place at any time or after any
round – preliminary, qualifying, or final – USADA typically selects place
finishers and random athletes. Once notified, you will be accompanied by a
chaperone until you report to the Doping Control Station. Athletes must
report to the Doping Control Station immediately after notification unless
there is an approved reason for delay. Reasons for delay that will be
considered include, but are not limited to, retrieving identification,
attending an awards ceremony, locating an Athlete Representative, cooling down,
media obligations and preparing for another event. If there is a valid
reason for delay, inform the Notifying Chaperone so he/she can confirm with a
Doping Control Officer.

BE CLEAN – Checking to see if the medication you take is
allowed could be the difference between passing your test and serving a doping
ban. A search on USADA’s easy-to-use Global Drug Reference Onlineâ„¢, or a quick call to
USADA’s Drug Reference Lineâ„¢ (1-800-233-0393) , or a review of the Therapeutic
Use Exemption procedure will help you understand if a medication is
allowed or prohibited.

BE INFORMED – Watching USADA’s short testing video will familiarize you with the drug
testing process. When making travel arrangements please allow enough time for
drug testing at the end of your event. This will include providing a sample and
processing paperwork.

The adjudication of anti-doping rule violations or refusals
to test will be carried out by USADA. Athletes found to have committed a doping
violation will be disciplined according to penalties specified by the World
Anti-Doping Code and, if appropriate, applicable IAAF rules. Such penalties may
result in a period of ineligibility as well as disqualification from the event.

BE AWARE. BE INFORMED. BE ALERT. BE CLEAN.

ENTRY RULES

A maximum of two athletes from any one Member can compete in
each event (with the exception of the Relays).

Three athletes can initially be entered per event, provided

whom they whish to enter may enter one unqualified male athlete and/or one
unqualified female athlete in one event of the Championships (except the
Combined Events, 10,000m, 3000m Steeplechase and 5000m Women).

Members Federations who have no male and/or female qualified
athlete but whose best athlete excels in a field event, may submit, to the
IAAF, by the time of the Preliminary Entry deadline, the name(s) of their
athlete(s) plus performance(s) they would like to enter in the field events.
The Technical Delegates will make the final decision and, to do so, may seek
the opinion of the relevant Area Association.

If the host country of the World Championships does not have
an athlete qualified in an event, it may enter one athlete in these events
regardless of any standard.
