Urine Sample Collection Procedure


The number of ICTs collected was mostly in-line with the Testing Distribution Plan (TDP).

This said, in swimming eight EPO tests were planned but only two were performed, due

to a lack of coordination between the PASO MC representative and the lead DCO.

The IO Team is satisfied with what we have seen and the most of the international DCOs

were working in a very professional fashion, and the Mexican DCOs showed

improvement as the Games were progressing. The urine sample collection during the

Games was generally done in accordance with the PASO Rules and Doping Control

Manual as well as the International Standard for Testing. However, a few key issues that

were observed:



Two DCOs did not appear to be fully following the testing procedures. This was


raised with the PASO MC, resulting in one of the two DCOs being removed; The

IO Team observed a number of mistakes in the completion of the Doping Control

Forms by the DCOs, although most were minor. In few cases the mistakes could

have been relevant during the Results Management process should an Adverse

Analytical Finding (AAF) been reported; and



In some the box on the DCF indicating consent to have the sample used for


research was not filled. On most DCFs the box for “blood transfusions in the last

six months” was unnecessarily completed, given that it should only be filled in

case of blood collection.
