A Whereabouts Failure may lead to an Anti-Doping Rule Violation and Sanction.
An athlete who retires must promptly inform the WDSF Anti-Doping Commission (WDSF ADC) in writing through post or e-mail. If an athlete retires, he/she is immediately removed from the Registered Testing Pool (RTP). WDSF ADC will confirm the receipt of the retirement by letter and that the athlete is no longer in the RTP.
In accordance with the WDSF Anti-Doping Code, an Athlete who was previously included in the Registered Testing Pool and is returning from retirement may not resume competing unless he or she notifies WDSF ADC at least six (6) months before he or she expects to return to Competition and during that notice period making themselves available for Out-of-Competition Testing as required by WDSF.
All athletes listed below have been included in WDSF Registered Testing Pool and therefore must make quarterly Whereabouts Filings.
