WHEREABOUTS RESPONSIBILITIES OF ATHLETE’S IN JADCO’S TTP
The Team Testing Pool (TTP) includes national teams and the highest priority teams of certain sport identified by JADCO, who are subject to both in-competition and out-of-competition testing. All teams of National Associations/Federations who have been identified by JADCO for inclusion in the TTP are required to provide accurate whereabouts information on their current location prior to participating in an event. This whereabouts information must be submitted by a representative of the Association/ Federation.
Modifications to your whereabouts information MUST be done by way of the ADAMS website, App, or SMS to the following number +44 7781 480710 (The SMS feature in ADAMS makes it simple for athletes to submit updates using an SMS compatible device, for example, a smart phone). While athletes are still required to enter whereabouts into ADAMS on a quarterly basis, the SMS feature facilitates updates, especially when the Internet is not available. Instructions to set up this feature can be found here or you can call JADCO for assistance to set up this feature. In the event that the ADAMS system is unavailable online, ONLY THEN should you update your whereabouts information using the following options:
In any event, you should contact JADCO to ensure that whereabouts updates have been received.
Sanctions for Non-Compliance
It is very important to ensure that an athlete files the required whereabouts information by the deadlines specified above. A failure to do so without an adequate reason will constitute a ‘Filing Failure’ under JADCO Rules.
It is also very important that the athlete files accurate information about his/her whereabouts, and that he/she updates this information as soon as there is any change of plans, so that he/she is available for testing at the declared location if JADCO seeks to test him/her. A failure to be available at the location specified for the 60 minute time slot without adequate reason is considered a ‘Missed Test’ under JADCO Rules.
If inaccurate or incomplete whereabouts information in ADAMS results in an unsuccessful attempt to test an athlete out-of-competition outside of his/her 60 minute time slot, he/she may be liable for a ‘Filing Failure’ under JADCO Rules.
Athletes need to be aware that any combination of three ‘Filing Failures’ and/or ‘Missed Tests’ in a 12-month period, applied either by JADCO or the athlete’s International Federation, may result in an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.
Athletes in the different testing pools must keep their whereabouts information up-to-date.
