Athletes Selection part 2

The day following this proposal, the representative of the IF and lead DCO, before the

beginning of the swimming events on that day, decided to test in each final Gold, Silver

and a randomly selected swimmer from the other finalists. After the intervention of the

Chair of the PASO MC, it was then decided not to test the Gold medalist in one event

because that athlete was apparently tested in different occasions. The IO Team reviewed

the DCFs and concluded that the athlete was previously tested only once during the

Games. The following day, the IO Team informed the PASO MC about the concern. The

IO Team also informed the PASO MC that during the first four days of swimming

competition eight athletes were tested more than once (one athlete four times, one

athlete three times and six athletes twice). The names of these athletes were sent to the

Chair of the PASO MC as requested.

The IO Team reviewed the DCFs from the beginning of the testing in Guadalajara 2011

Pan American until October 20 and noticed that a total of fourteen athletes provided two

dilute samples. Only five of those fourteen athletes provided an additional test the

following day, which was not in conformity with the provision described in the Anti-

Doping Manual. The IO Team recommended that an additional test be performed in all

these cases.
