ISSF RE EGISTERED TESTING P D POOL

The ter Registe rm ered Testin Pool ref ng fers to the pool of top level shoo p oters estab blished by

the International Shooting Sport Federation and the relevant National Anti-Doping Organisation who are subject to both In-Competition and Out-of-Competition testing as part of the International Shooting Sport Federation or National-Anti-Doping Organisation's test distribution plan. The International Shooting Sport Federations Registered Testing Pool consists of the top ten men and women in every category at any given time in the calendar year. The shooters who are in the ISSF Registered Testing Pool must provide their whereabouts on a quarterly basis, including all training camps and schedules. They must also provide a 60 minute time slot for which they can be available for testing every day of the year. Any failure to submit timely and accurate whereabouts information, or any failure to be present at the location and time indicated on the whereabouts information submitted, can result in sanctions. All shooters who belong to the International Shooting Sport Federation are subject to both In-Competition and Out-of-Competition testing on a year-round basis.

TESTING

Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) The term Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) refers to a report from a World Anti-Doping Agency approved laboratory that indicates the presence of a Prohibited Substance or its metabolites or markers (including elevated quantities of endogenous substances) or evidence of the use of a Prohibited Method. The term Adverse Analytical Finding does not necessarily imply a positive test as the athlete may have a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) or may have elevated endogenous substances which are normal for his own system and do not necessarily reflect a positive doping infraction. An AAF becomes a positive doping infraction only after a thorough investigation following due process, such as a hearing and a determination from the Disciplinary Committee that a doping infraction has occurred. In-Competition In-Competition Testing in shooting sport is testing that is conducted in connection with any ISSF sanctioned event. Out-of-Competition Out-of-Competition testing can occur at any time of the year (excluding the In-Competition Testing periods) and at any location, such as an athlete's home, place of training, or even while they are abroad for personal or training reasons. Out-of-Competition testing takes place with no advance notice to the athlete. The ISSF works closely together with the World Anti-Doping Agency and the National Anti-Doping Agencies in planning and conducting Out-Of-Competition Testing on shooters worldwide.

SANCTIONING

The ISSF follows the World Anti-Doping Code and the ISSF Anti-Doping Rules when deciding on a sanction for shooters that have committed an anti-doping rule violation. The sanctions given to athletes will be posted on this website as they are decided.
