TO

ALL COUNTRIES  WITH  ATHLETES  ON  THE ANTI-DOPING  TESTING  PANEL.

I was very disappointed to learn  that some athletes were recently missing from their agreed location when officials called to conduct testing.   There have been several such cases in various countries in recent years and not only is it disappointing but it is also very expensive to TWIF.  We have a contract with the testing agency and are liable for costs even if the athlete is not present as scheduled under the “whereabouts” procedure.

Equally and perhaps more important is our position in relation to the IOC and World Games, both of whom regard our compliance with the World Anti-Doping Agency Code as paramount.  Continued failure by some athletes to adhere to their commitments is likely to jeopardise our international standing.

The importance of the above points has been emphasized on several occasions and as recently as the 2011 TWIF Congress when International Representatives  were asked to ensure that their membership was made fully aware of their responsibilities in this respect.  It seems that the message did not always get through to those concerned !

I would strongly request that this information is reinforced once again.

Cathal Mc Keever.

President.
