Requirements of the Registered Testing Pool, including whereabouts and the use of ADAMS

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.
