The Whereabouts system allows the National Anti-Doping Organization and other testing agencies to test some athletes with no advanced notice. For those athletes who are included in the NADAT Registered Testing Pool/ NADAT Testing Pool, it means they must submit their whereabouts to the ADAMS (Anti-Doping Administrative Management System)!
Remember: athletes can be tested at any time, any place.
If you are asked to provide Whereabouts information and do not do so, you risk receiving a Whereabouts Failure and a ban from sport.
What you need to know about Whereabouts:
- If you are in a Testing Pool you must provide your quarterly Whereabouts information in ADAMS by 23:59 on:
15 December (Q1),
15 March (Q2),
15 June (Q3), and
15 September (Q4).
- For athletes on the Registered Testing Pool (RTP), you must provide the following information:
Overnight accommodation
60-minute timeslot
Regular activities, such as training, work, or school
Competitions
Mailing address
You must provide all the above for athletes on the Testing Pool, except for the 60-minute timeslot.
