Chaperoning the Athlete to the Blood Collection Facility.

6.2 Chaperoning the Athlete to the Blood Collection Facility. 6.2.1 The DCO/Chaperone shall ensure that the Athlete is escorted from the place of notification to the Blood Collection Facility under constant supervision. [6.2.1 Comment: The DCO should take into consideration relevant sport-specific and venue specific factors that could affect the chaperoning process, for example sports in which Athletes often compete in more than one Event potentially prolonging the chaperoning process.]

6.2.2 The DCO/Chaperone cannot prevent the Athlete from eating or drinking products of their choice, but should recommend that the Athlete chooses from a selection of individually sealed, non-alcoholic beverages in order to hydrate. The DCO/Chaperone should not handle food or drink items for the Athlete.

6.2.3 The DCO/Chaperone shall escort the Athlete at all times until the sample collection procedures have been completed, or shall ensure that another DCO/Chaperone has taken over escorting the Athlete.

6.2.4 The Chaperone shall inform the DCO as soon as practical without leaving the Athlete unattended, and ensuring discretion, of any irregularities in notification and/or suspicious Athlete behavior during the observation period. Irregularities shall be documented by the DCO if relevant.

[6.2.4 Comment: The ADO is responsible for establishing guidelines for what constitutes suspicious Athlete behavior – examples might be; evading observation, ingesting an unidentified substance, a distressed call to a coach or other unusual behavior.]
