Sample Collection

One of the principal means of deterring and detecting doping is through the collection of urine and blood samples.

The sample collection process can be broken down into steps:

• Athlete selection and notification
• Reporting to the doping control station
• Providing the sample
• Packaging and paperwork
• Analysis and Results
