If the quantity of urine is less than 90ml the partial Sample procedure set out in section 18 of this Schedule 1 shall apply. (b) If the collection vessel contains approximately 90ml or more of urine, the Player shall select a sealed urine Sample kit from a minimum of two. The Player should check the security of the kit prior to opening it. If there is any evidence of tampering the Player should select a new urine Sample kit. The Player will then be invited to break the security seal and remove the contents of the kit. (c) The following procedures must be carried out in the presence of the Player and the Player’s Representative, if any, and the DCO. The Player may request that the DCO carry out the Sample division and sealing procedures. If this is the case, the DCO shall note this on the Doping Control form in the comments section. (d) The urine Sample kit should contain two clean bottles. One bottle shall be marked Sample “A” and one bottle Sample “B” and will contain corresponding code numbers. The Player and his representative, if any, should check that the Sample bottle codes correspond. The Sample bottle codes should also correspond to the external code number on the urine Sample kit.
