18-July-2006: Memo from: Ian Moir, (AWF Anti-Doping Officer)

To: State Weightlifting Associations; AWF Athletes Committee

Date: 12 July 2006
Subject: Out of competition drug testing

Recently, a lifter who is not included in weightlifting’s Registered Testing Pool (RTP) was notified by ASADA officers for an out-of-competition drug test. Although happy to comply, the lifter was surprised to be notified.

Upon hearing of this matter, the AWF President sought clarification from ASADA in regard to the testing of athletes who are not specifically listed for out-of-competition testing. ASADA’s response to the AWF follows:

“The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) has confirmed that under the anti-doping rules of Weightlifting, any athlete can be selected for out-of-competition testing, not just those in the Weightlifting Registered Testing Pool.

All athletes should be aware that they can be approached at any time by a doping official - at their home, training facility or anywhere in the world. Athletes must comply with the testing procedure or face the prospect of an anti-doping rule violation for failing to submit to sample collection.

Athletes are responsible for being fully aware of the requirements for providing a sample. For more information, visit the ASADA website at www.asada.gov.au”

Please take all possible steps to make your state’s members aware of this and if possible, include the statement above in your state’s newsletter and/or general notices to your affiliated clubs.

Sincerely

Ian Moir
AWF Anti-Doping Officer
