REGULATION 21 SCHEDULE 1 (i) If a Player has been in the Doping Control Station for five or more hours after providing an unsuitable Sample(s), has not consumed any further liquids, has provided additional Samples but is yet to produce a suitable Sample then the DCO or Anti-Doping Commissioner may cancel the Sample collection session. If the DCO or Anti-Doping Commissioner cancels the Sample collection session then they should consider either rescheduling the test for the following day if logistically possible or target test the Player at a later date. Where the DCO or Anti-Doping Commissioner reschedules the test for the following day this should be on an In Competition basis in accordance with the procedure set out at section 5(h) in this Schedule. (j) The DCO shall record that the Samples collected belongs to a single Player and the order in which the Samples were provided. (k) If it is determined that none of the Player’s Samples meets the specific gravity requirements for analysis and the DCO determines that for logistical reasons it is impossible to continue with the Sample collection session, the DCO may end the Sample collection session. In such circumstances, if appropriate the ADO may also investigate a possible anti-doping rule violation. (l) The DCO shall send to the laboratory for analysis all Samples which were collected, irrespective of whether or not they meet the specific gravity requirements and discuss with the laboratory the number of Samples to be analysed. (m) If the Player refuses to provide a further Sample(s) he should be notified that such refusal may constitute an anti-doping rule violation. 14. Residual Urine The DCO shall ensure that the Player has been given the option of requiring that any residual urine that will not be sent for analysis is discarded in full view of the Player. 15.
