The process of collecting urine and blood samples in order to detect prohibited substances or methods by an athlete is part of the doping control. There are substances that are prohibited by WADA and therefore the athletes need to
follow these rules and regulations. All the anti-doping policies, rules and regulations within the sport organizations and among the public authorities can be found in the WADA Code. The WADA Code ensures that all athletes are treated
by the same rules and standards through testing in order to harmonize the processes amongst the anti-doping organizations.
It is essential that all athletes and entourage members understand the anti-doping system and the rules that apply to them. As athletes, you are subject to the principle of strict liability, this means that you are strictly responsible
for anything that is found in your system.
