ok so its almost 2am and i should be asleep

but im staying at a hotel and need to update my whereabouts and the site won’t load

what is whereabouts?

every single night professional athletes must tell the world anti doping agency the address where they are sleeping

you do this through a super clunky website that doesn’t work well on mobile

if you dont fill it in correctly and anti doping officers come to randomly drug test you in the morning and you’re not there you get a “whereabouts failure”

three whereabouts failures in a year and youre banned from your sport for up to 4 years ( unless you have a really good lawyer or something)

AMA as i try to update it lol

How does knowing your whereabouts prevent you from taking illegal drugs or whatever they’re worried about?

Is this an Olympic thing, or specific to your sport, or what?

every professional sport has anti doping

if athletes knew when they were going to be tested then they would stop taking their performance enhancing drugs on the days of their tests

by them knowing our whereabouts it means they can come and test us randomly

people get caught through the random tests as you are not allowed to refuse a test
