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

5.7.1 For Beach Volleyball competitions, anti-doping controls should<br />

be performed according to a schedule that is agreed upon by the<br />

Medical Delegate and the Technical Supervisor.<br />

If only one Athlete on the team is to be tested from a chosen match,<br />

the routine selection should be performed by the drawing of lots at the<br />

scorer’s table immediately upon conclusion of the match, usually by the<br />

team captain. However, the drawing of lots may also be undertaken by<br />

the Medical Delegate or by the doping control team. Players are not<br />

allowed to leave the court area until the draw has been completed. The<br />

result of the draw should be recorded on the form M-1.<br />

The Medical Delegate can decide to submit one or several Athletes for<br />

testing at any time during the tournament. This includes Athletes<br />

withdrawing from competition because of injury or for other reasons.<br />

Athletes are normally only tested after their last match of the day.<br />

However, Athletes may be selected for doping control at any time, and<br />

in exceptional circumstances may even be tested between matches on<br />

the same day.<br />

5.7.2 For Volleyball competitions, anti-doping controls should be<br />

performed according to a schedule that is agreed upon by the Medical<br />

Delegate and the Control Committee in accordance with the Specific<br />

Competition Regulations (see article 5.2.3).<br />

Before each match the person in charge of the team must proceed to<br />

the Jury table with:<br />

Identification papers of the players (accreditations, ID Cards, or<br />

passports).<br />

The routine selection of Athletes for doping control for a given match is<br />

performed by the drawing of lots. The draw should take place<br />

immediately upon conclusion of the match, in the presence of<br />

representatives from the competing teams, a Control Committee<br />

member and the Medical Delegate (if present).<br />

All Athletes recorded on the score sheet are eligible for the draw,<br />

regardless if they participated in the match or not. This also includes<br />

players withdrawing from the game because of injury or for other<br />

reasons. Athletes are not allowed to leave the court area until the draw<br />

has been completed, except to receive emergency medical treatment<br />

and only after receiving permission by the Control Committee chair.<br />

The Control Committee member responsible for the draw should place<br />

chips corresponding to the uniform numbers of each of the eligible<br />

athletes into neutral boxes. The team representative draws the number<br />

of chips corresponding to the number of anti-doping tests imposed on<br />

the team. The result of the draw should be recorded on the form M-1.<br />

The Control Committee members on duty at a given match, after<br />

consultation with the Medical Delegate, may decide to subject one or<br />

more additional Athletes to control.<br />

Athletes are normally only tested after their last match of the day.<br />

However, Athletes may be selected for doping control at any time, and<br />

in exceptional circumstances may even be tested between matches on<br />

the same day.<br />
