Athlete reports to the doping control station immediately after notification and stays there it until the end of the whole procedure of sample collection. When reporting to the doping control the athlete may be asked to sign in an entry/exit log.
The athlete can leave the doping control station before the end the procedure only with the permission of the DCO and only for the same reasons stated above for the delay of reporting to the doping control station. Such permission will be given only if there is sufficient number of staff to monitor an athlete during his / her absence.
While waiting for sample collection the athlete has the right to eat or drink, but he does it at his or her own risk. The athlete is recommended to avoid excessive intake of fluids, as this may result in the insufficient gravity of urine sample, and will require additional sample.
Athlete can choose from three vessels for sample collection
Athlete verifies that the equipment is clean and that all seals are intact and selects an appropriate set
If the athlete is not satisfied with any one of the sets, but the officer considers them to be satisfactory, the athlete can record his or her objections in the protocol, but the procedure should be continued
After the athlete has selected the container for sample collection it should be at the disposal and under the control of the athlete as long as sample (or partial sample) will not be sealed.
DCO who will monitor the provision of the urine sample by the athlete, must be the same gender as the athlete
DCO accompanies athlete to the toilet cubicle for direct observation of delivery of samples
The athlete must provide DCO with clear, unobstructed view of sample providing process
The athlete must provide at least 90 ml of urine, but it is recommended to provide a larger volume if possible. If it is impossible to provide 90 ml of urine, partial sample will be collected.
Athlete opens B vessel, takes out a red ring and pours at least 30 ml of urine into the B vessel
Athlete opens A vessel, removes the red ring and pours at least 60 ml of urine in A vessel
If more than the minimum volume of sample was provided, the athlete fills the A vessel to the maximum level
If after this some amount of urine is left, the athlete fills the B vessel to the maximum level
You should not fill the bottle above the max line (or "shoulder" of the bottle). When samples are poured in the vessels some amount of urine should remain in the urine collector to measure specific gravity.
DCO measures the specific gravity and if it is below 1.005, additional sample is collected
If urine has required gravity, excess urine is utilized
Additional sample collection is carried out at the request of DCO in the case of insufficient specific gravity of the first sample, and in case DCO has other grounds for such request, including violations during the first sample collection. The procedure is similar to the standard sample collection.
Athlete reports to the doping control station immediately after notification and stays there it until the end of the whole procedure of sample collection. When reporting to the doping control the athlete may be asked to sign in an entry/exit log.
The athlete can leave the doping control station before the end the procedure only with the permission of the DCO and only for the same reasons stated above for the delay of reporting to the doping control station.

While waiting for sample collection the athlete has the right to eat or drink, but he does it at his or her own risk. The athlete is recommended to avoid excessive intake of fluids, as this may result in the insufficient gravity of urine sample, and will require additional sample.
The athlete should sit with both feet on the floor for at least 10 minutes before providing the sample.
Blood sample collection for the biological passport should be carried out not earlier than 2 hours after the competition or training is finished.
DCO offers at least three vessels for blood sample collection (blood collection tubes) and equipment for blood samples storage
Athlete verifies that the equipment is clean and that all seals are intact and have not been tampered with
Athlete and DCO together check that all items in the selected kit are clean, not damaged and has the same code
Blood sample is collected by a qualified medical personnel
Blood sample is collected from the vein in the supine position or sitting
Before sample collection the health worker explains to the athlete requirements of the procedure, for example, not to use the arm for a certain period of time
DCO gives an athlete a copy of the protocol, and copy of additional protocols and the copy of blood passport protocol, if they were used
The athlete signs the entry/exit log and leaves the doping control station
