This document discusses reinforcing doping control procedures for athletes. It outlines the doping control process, including types of tests (in-competition and out-of-competition), athlete notification procedures, the use of representatives, and sample collection requirements. Athletes must be cooperative and knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities during testing. While athlete cooperation is improving, support personnel still need more awareness of doping control rules.
