- Athletes can be tested at any time, not just during competitions. Out-of-competition testing targets substances that provide training advantages even when not used immediately before competition.
- Peptides fall squarely into this category. Recovery peptides provide benefits during training. Peptides for testosterone enhancement affect adaptation to training stimuli. Using peptides only during off-season does not protect against detection during out-of-competition testing.
- Athletes in registered testing pools must provide whereabouts information. They can be tested without advance notice at their training location, home, or anywhere they are expected to be. Missing a test counts as a violation equivalent to a positive result.
