Additionally, ASADA hosted a visit by Graeme Steel andBridget Leonard of Drug Free Sport New Zealand in lateJune 2013. The purpose of the visit was for Mr Steel andMs Leonard to gain a better understanding of our work inintelligence gathering. They also spent considerable timewith our Science and Results Management team.DETECTIONASADA’s detection program uses information from ASADA’sintelligence and investigations functions to develop andconduct its doping control activities. The program, whichintegrates testing, intelligence and investigation, hasdeveloped since ASADA’s inception. As a result, we are atthe forefront of intelligence-based targeted testing, whereintelligence acquired from a number of sources is analysedand used to guide testing.BRIDGET LEONARD OF DRUG FREE SPORTNEW ZEALAND – JUNE 2013ASADA operates a long-term storage facility that will allow future advances in analytical technology to be applied toblood and urine samples collected from athletes today. If an athlete has used a prohibited substance that is not yetdetectable, under the World Anti-Doping Code (the Code) the athlete’s sample will be kept to allow for eight yearsof future testing technology with the potential for detection and sanction.National testing and sport operations programA fundamental component of our detection function is the testing program which is supported by a combinationof government-funded and user-pays arrangements, and incorporates a scientific- and intelligence-driventargeted test distribution plan. This in-competition and out-of-competition testing is based on no-advance-notice,which acts as a deterrent to athletes considering the use of performance-enhancing substances or methods.Athletes are subject to testing anytime, anywhere, without warning.Underpinning the testing program is the test distribution plan which is designed to allocate tests across a range ofsports annually in accordance with criteria specified within the WADA International Standard for Testing (IST).During the year our test distribution plan included pre-London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, andpre-Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games testing. During this period we also increased our targetedand intelligence-led testing on Australian athletes, living, training or competing overseas.In 2012–13 we continued to apply steroid and blood profiling capability in the development of our targeted testingprograms. In addition to steroid and blood profiling, we introduced the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) into ourtesting program on 1 July 2012. The ABP is an electronic record of an athlete’s biological values that is developedover time from multiple collections of blood samples. We view the ABP as a significant addition to traditionaltesting, which will take Australia’s anti-doping efforts to the cutting-edge of the worldwide battle against doping.During 2012–13, we conducted 4,167 government-funded tests across 42 sports and 3,209 user-pays tests forAustralian sporting bodies and other organisations (see Table 7). Also during this period, we conducted more than370 government-funded ABP tests both domestically and internationally, and conducted 367 government-fundedtests offshore in 13 countries.Another integral component of the testing function is the sample-collection process. This entails sequentialactivities that directly involve the athlete from notification up to the point that he or she leaves the Doping ControlStation having provided blood and/or urine samples.44
Report on performance ASADA ANNUAL REPORT 2012:13Our sample collection practice is conducted by a skilled team of accredited Doping Control Officers (DCOs) andChaperones in accordance with the Code, the IST and the National Anti-Doping (NAD) scheme.The testing program is audited regularly by national and international bodies and is ISO 9001 certified.During 2012–13, our sample collection practice was scrutinised by external ISO auditors which resulted insuccessful re-certification. We are proud to have maintained the high standard required for ISO certificationsince first being awarded this honour in 2000.Pure Performance programsASADA partnered with the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) and Australian Paralympic Committee (APC) tofinalise the delivery of Pure Performance programs for the Australian teams attending the London 2012 Olympicand Paralympic Games. We also began the implementation of Pure Performance programs for the 2014 WinterOlympic and Paralympic Games teams.These programs are designed to help protect the integrity of the Australian teams by developing and implementinga comprehensive anti-doping program in the lead up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.The program includes:> comprehensive test plan including intelligence-driven urine and blood testing program; and in-competition andout-of-competition testing prior to the commencement of the Games> storage of selected samples in ASADA’s long-term storage facility> whereabouts induction and support> the opportunity to undertake anti-doping education.User-pays testsASADA is recognised for its ability to conduct sample collection of the highest standard. Our professionalism insample collection resulted in ASADA being contracted in 2012–13 by a number of sporting administration bodies(such as the Australian Football League (AFL), the Australian Rugby Union, Cricket Australia, Football FederationAustralia and National Rugby League (NRL)) to conduct their testing programs. We also collected samples underuser-pays arrangements on behalf of other collection agencies or International Federations in the lead up toa number of international sporting events held in Australia, including sports such as cricket, cycling, canoeing,swimming, athletics and triathlon.User-pays arrangements with state governments were in place during the year to allow for the testing ofathletes competing at state level. This relationship with the states and territories is important in ensuring thatup-and-coming athletes competing at the state and territory levels experience a thorough testing program.This will instill in these athletes an expectation that they will be tested on a regular basis and the understandingthat athletes who are doping are caught and sanctioned appropriately.In 2012–13, ASADA worked closely with the AFL, ARU and NRL to ensure that each of these sports had aanti-doping testing program that maximised the chances of detecting the use of any prohibited substances.The broad scope of agreements between ASADA and major professional sporting organisations and governmentsis a testament to the shared quest to achieve doping free sport across Australia. For example, in May 2013 the NRLannounced a further enhancement to their 2013 testing program through the introduction of an Athlete BiologicalPassport program.45
