Who can be tested in Equestrian sport, and how?
Any Athlete can be subject to Testing. Testing can take place In Competition (at Event venues, during the period of an Event) or Out of Competition (at home, at training venues, etc). Athlete selection can be random, based on established criteria (ie: final placement), or targeted. Following notification in person by a Doping Control Officer, the Athlete will be chaperoned at all times until completion of the sampling process. The Athlete will need to provide a urine sample, which will be received anonymously by the analysing laboratory. If the Athlete needs some time to be ready to produce the sample, he/she will remain chaperoned during this time, and safe drinking water will always be provided.
