Several Mexican DCOs were assigned to assist the international DCOs. These DCOs did
not receive any pre-Games supervision or evaluation. At the beginning of the Games a
large portion of the doping controls were performed by the international DCOs with the
Mexican DCOs observing. Then, the MCDOs started conducting sample collection under
the supervision of the international DCOs. The IO Team feels that this was a good
strategy in order to increase their experience and to leave a legacy in Mexico in terms of
trained and experienced doping control personnel. Half way into the Games, most of the
less suitable Mexican DCOs were left to carry out other tasks and leaving the more
capable MCDOs to continue to perform sample collection with full autonomy.
The IO Team was present for the two training sessions that were organized by the PASO
MC to retrain all DCOs to ensure that they were familiar with the procedures described in
the Doping Control Manual, doping control equipment and documentation for the Games.
It was very positive to have PASO MC Members present at these sessions to share their
experience with the DCOs.
