The document outlines the standard doping sample collection procedure by WADA in 3 sentences: Athletes are notified for sample collection and must report to the doping control station, where they provide identification and samples of urine and sometimes blood while being observed, with the samples then being split and stored until analysis and potential follow up procedures depending on the results.

1. Dope sample collection procedure By WADA
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has strict guidelines and procedures for the
collection of doping samples to ensure the integrity and fairness of sports. Below is an
overview of the standard doping sample collection procedure:
Notification:
Athletes may be notified of their selection for a doping control test in advance or
without prior notice. The notification is typically done by a Doping Control Officer (DCO) or
a Chaperone.
Reporting to the Doping Control Station:
Athletes report to the designated Doping Control Station as soon as possible after
notification. If they are not present at the location, they should make every effort to get there
promptly.
Identification:
Athletes are required to provide identification (usually an ID card or passport) to
confirm their Identity.
Selection of Sample Collection Equipment:
The athlete is allowed to choose a sealed sample collection vessel (usually a urine
collection bottle or blood collection tube) from a selection of containers, ensuring it is
unopened and untampered.
Witness Selection:

2. Sample Collection Room:
The athlete is taken to a private and secure sample collection room. In some
cases, they may be accompanied by the chaperone or DCO throughout the process.
Sample Collection:
The athlete is required to provide a urine sample, and in some cases, a blood
sample. The athlete must remove or adjust clothing as necessary to allow the
DCO or chaperone to observe the sample collection process to ensure it is not tampered
with.
Urine Collection: The athlete urinates into the provided container while under
observation. They must provide an adequate amount of urine, usually at least 90
milliliters. The athlete is responsible for ensuring that the urine sample accurately
represents their urine.
Blood Collection: If a blood sample is required, a trained phlebotomist
collects the sample using sterile procedures.
Sample Splitting:
The athlete's sample is divided into an "A" sample and a "B" sample. The "A" sample
is immediately sealed and sent to a WADA-accredited laboratory for analysis. The "B"
sample is securely stored for potential further analysis if the "A" sample tests positive
or is challenged.
Completing the Doping Control Form:
Both the athlete and the DCO or chaperone complete the Doping stored until they are
sent to the laboratory for analysis. Control Form, documenting important
information about the sample collection process.
Sealing and Storage:
The collected samples are sealed with tamper-evident seals and securely stored until

3. Athlete's Rights and Responsibilities:
Throughout the process, athletes have certain rights, including the right to a
representative, the right to observe the sealing of the sample containers, and the
right to request a delay in reporting to the Doping Control Station for valid reasons.
Follow-up Procedures:
Depending on the results of the "A" sample analysis, the athlete may go through
further procedures, such as the analysis of the "B" sample, hearings, and potential sanctions
if the sample tests positive for prohibited substances or methods.
It's important to note that the specific procedures and protocols may vary slightly
depending on the sport, the event, and the anti-doping organization involved, but the
core principles outlined above are generally followed to ensure the integrity of the doping
control process. Athletes and sports organizations are expected to adhere to these
procedures to maintain fair competition and uphold the principles of anti-doping in
sports.
