Preparation for Sample Collection Process part 2


Ad-hoc solutions that to a large extent solved some of the main issues were initiated,

such as:

1. The toilet at the back of the technical delegate/organizers bus was used for doping

control purposes;

2. Two tables were hung from the roof dividing two processing tables;

3. A portable office from the technical delegate/organizers at site was voluntarily

lent to the DCO/PASO MC personnel for blood sample processing room.


Doping Control Equipment


Certified and adequate kits were used as doping control equipment for both blood and

urine sample collection.

In one case the number on the stickers containing a sample code did not match with the

number on the bottles only by a little difference in the last number of the code. The


PASO MC decided to request that the LOC find the other kit containing the same code as

the sticker and to send a letter to the company that created the kits to inform them

about this serious non-conformity.

The LOC preferred to use digital refractometers to measure the specific gravity (SG) of

urine samples. The IO Team noticed some problems with the measurement of SG related

to refractometers lacking power, which resulted in DCO accepting samples with SG out

of range.
