<strong>FIVB</strong> Medical Regulations – <strong>11</strong>th <strong>Edition</strong><br />

5.2.3 In competitions organised under the exclusive responsibility of<br />

the Confederations, other than world and official competitions (e.g.<br />

continental club cups, regional championships, etc.), or by National<br />

Federations, anti-doping control is the responsibility of the respective<br />

Confederation or National Federation. The <strong>FIVB</strong> and WADA shall be<br />

informed immediately of the results of such controls through the WADA<br />

clearinghouse.<br />

5.3 Testing Standards<br />

Testing conducted by the <strong>FIVB</strong> and its National Federations and Confederations<br />

shall be in substantial conformity with the International Standard for Testing in<br />

force at the time of Testing.<br />

5.3.1 Blood (or other non-urine) Samples may be used to detect<br />

Prohibited Substances or Prohibited Methods, for screening procedure<br />

purposes, or for longitudinal hematological profiling (“the passport”). If<br />

the Sample is collected for screening only, it will have no<br />

consequences for the Athlete other than to identify him/her for a urine<br />

test under these anti-doping rules. In these circumstances, the <strong>FIVB</strong><br />

may decide at its own discretion which blood parameters are to be<br />

measured in the screening Sample and what levels of those<br />

parameters will be used to indicate that an Athlete should be selected<br />

for a urine test. If however, the Sample is collected for longitudinal<br />

hematological profiling (“the passport”), it may be used for anti-doping<br />

purposes in accordance with Article 2.2 of the Code.<br />

5.4 Coordination of Testing<br />

The <strong>FIVB</strong> and its National Federations shall promptly report completed tests<br />

through the WADA clearinghouse to avoid unnecessary duplication in Testing.<br />

5.5 Athlete Whereabouts Requirements<br />

5.5.1 The <strong>FIVB</strong> shall identify a Registered Testing Pool of those<br />

Athletes who are required to comply with the whereabouts<br />

requirements of the International Standard for Testing and shall publish<br />

the criteria for Athletes to be included in this Registered Testing Pool<br />

as well as a list of the Athletes meeting those criteria for the period in<br />

question. The <strong>FIVB</strong> shall review and update as necessary its criteria for<br />

including Athletes in its Registered Testing Pool, and shall revise the<br />

membership of its Registered Testing Pool from time to time as<br />

appropriate in accordance with the set criteria. Each Athlete in the<br />

Registered Testing Pool (a) shall advise the <strong>FIVB</strong> of his/her<br />

whereabouts for the required period, in the manner set out in Article<br />

<strong>11</strong>.3 of the International Standard for Testing; (b) shall update that<br />

information as necessary, in accordance with Article <strong>11</strong>.4.2 of the<br />

International Standard for Testing, so that it remains accurate and<br />

complete at all times; and (c) shall make him/herself available for<br />

Testing at such whereabouts, in accordance with Article <strong>11</strong>.4 of the<br />

International Standard for Testing.<br />
