Doping Control Program- Testing

Athlete testing, or doping control, is an essential program in both promoting and protecting doping-free sport.

Oceania RADO Doping Control Program is carried out in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code and the International Standard for Testing, developed by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in consultation with its stakeholders.

Athlete who will compete at the XIII South Pacific Games may be tested anytime, anywhere. The test can be conducted at a competition or away from a competition situation, such as at an athlete’s home or training venue, with no advance notice. A urine sample may be collected. Specially trained and accredited Doping Control personnel carry out all tests.
