(ISTI Article I.4 ) Blood (serum) >60 min (1 hour) No Yes (ISTI Article D.4.16) As soon as possible , and up to 72h.
* *Blood (serum) Samples may be analyzed by different methods with varying requirements for collection to analysis time.
Best practice dictates that a Sample should arrive at the Laboratory as soon as possible.
A maximum of 72 h of transportation time is generally recommended as it ensures the potential application of the hGH Isoform Differential Immunoassay to Sample following analysis for the Endocrine Module.
An additional ABP Operating Guidelines – Version 9.0 – July 2023 Page 13/91 24h is permitted in the case of a nalysis for the Endocrine Module or the hGH Biomarkers Test .
Both cases assume 24h of handling time for Samples in the Laboratory in an unfrozen state .
2.3.3.
Sample Storage As part of a comprehensive strategy for long term storage of Samples , ADOs are recommen ded to consider Passport information as part of the criteria for long term storage in order to decide which Samples to store and for how long.
The longitudinal nature of the ABP can uncover atypical features that may warrant furthe r Analytical Testing in the most recent Sample , but also in previous Samples .
For example, an ATPF for low T/E in a steroid al Passport may indicate that a GC/C/ IRMS analysis should be performed not on the most recent Sample , but on a previous Sample .
Therefore, such a Sample storage strategy should consider the general frequency of Sample collection in order to improve the chance of such Samples being available for retroactive analysis.
Passport status can also be used to drive Sample storage decisions.
For example, an ADO may wish to store all Sample s for which there is a “suspicious” APMU recommendation in ADAMS.
Similarly, an APMU may directly recommend that an ADO consider storing S amples for a given A thlete displaying abnormal features in their Passport .
With regards to S ample type, given that blood (serum) Samples now have the possibility of retroactive analysis for the Endocrine and Steroidal Modules, it is recommended to consider systematically storing such blood S amples for a longer period than the minimum three months that is required by Lanoratories (for example, 12 months) .
2.3.4.
Athlete Information Given that additional information is required from Athletes beyond what is collected in traditional Doping Control documentation pursuant to the ISTI, supplemental documentation may be required.
Such documentation may be collected as appropriate, both prior to and after Testing, for APMU assessment and Expert review , as required.
For blood ABP Samples , in addition to the mandatory information set out in ISTI Article 7.4.5, which must be recorded as a part of all Sample Collection Sessions , the information listed in ISTI I.2.9 (Section 3.
2 below) shall be recorded in a specific ABP Supplementary Form or a related form to be signed by the Athlete.
[Comment: See the available ABP Supplementary Form template: https://www.wada -ama.org/en/resources/world- anti-doping- program/athlete- biological -passport -supplementary -report -form] 2.3.5.
Standardization through ADAMS The ABP Program is administered through ADAMS, a secure online database management tool for data entry, storage, sharing, and reporting, designed to assist stakeholders and WADA in their anti - ABP Operating Guidelines – Version 9.0 – July 2023 Page 14/91 doping operations.
An essential element of the ABP, the Adaptive Model , is fully integrated into ADAMS.
Only programs that fully utilize ADAMS can be considered ABP Programs.
Standardization and harmonization of ABP programs is achieved through the use of ADAMS.
This ensures that all mandatory requirements are met and that the Athlete Passports are shared and stored securely, all in accordance with the International Standard for the Protection of Privacy and Personal Information (ISPPPI).
Furthermore, ADAMS facilitates prompt exchange of information between ADOs , APMUs , Laboratories and/or ABP Laboratory , Sample Collection Personnel , and WADA .
2.3.6.
The APMU Report The APMU Report is a central element in the administrative sequence of the ABP that shall be entered and maintained by the APMU in ADAMS.
The APMU Report provides an up- to-date overview of the current status of an Athlete’s Passport together with recommendations, as appropriate, for efficient follow- up by the Passport Custodian .
The APMU Report serves to update the Passport Custodian, WADA and other ADOs with whom the Passport is shared .
In addition, it provides a record of events associated with a Passport in ADAMS.
As detailed in the TD APMU (see section 3.
8), the APMU Report may include, without limitation: − Assessments of Sample validity by the APMU and/or Experts ; − Recommendations for complementary Analytical Testing (e.g., ESAs, HIF stabilizers, confirmation of steroid profile, GC/C/IRMS, long- term steroid Metabolites , IGF-I, etc.)
on Samples collected; − Recommendations for further Analytical Testing on Samples collected previously; − Recommendations for storing of Samples for extended periods of time for Further Analysis ; − Target Testing recommendations based on available data and Experts’ recommendations; and a summary of any recent Expert reviews.
2.3.7.
Recommended Administrative Sequence The following outlines the suggested sequence of interactions between the Athlete, Sample Collection Personnel , ADOs, Laboratory(ies ), ADAMS, APMUs , and Expert panels to establish, follow up and review an individual Athlete’s Passport in an effective and efficient manner .
The recommended administrative sequence outlined below may be modified or adapted to fit with existin g anti -doping infrastructure, procedures and mechanisms as required.
However these Guidelines aim to ensure that ADOs establish a process that demonstrates transparency in the planning, interpretation and Results Management aspects of an ABP program .
ABP Operating Guidelines – Version 9.0 – July 2023 Page 15/91 2.3.8.
ABP Administrative Sequence Graphic The ADO identifies the Athlete of interest for Testing.
Athlete Selection The ADO identifies the ideal timing for Sample collection , in line with any relevant recommendations from the APMU .2 Timing of Test The ADO issues a Sample collection request, which includes the type of Sample to be collected (blood ABP, blood (serum) , and/or urine) .
Issuing Request The Sample Collection Authority accesses the pertinent whereabouts information of the Athlete via ADAMS (for only the period defined by the issuing organization) , and any other relevant Testing instructions.
Locating Athlete Sample Collection The Sample Collection Personnel locate s the Athlete and collect the biological Sample( s), following the appropriate protocol.
A n ABP Supplementary Doping Control form is to be completed as outlined in Annex I of the ISTI (Section 3.
2 below) w here Doping Control includes a blood ABP Sample.
For blood ABP Samples , the Sample Collection Personnel ensure transport to a Laboratory or ABP Laboratory , in accordance with Annex I of the ISTI (Section 3.2 below).
U rine Samples should be rapidly transported to a Laboratory , with minimal exposure to high temperature.
For Samples collected for the Endocrine Module or for steroid analysis in blood Samples , the Samples must be transported to a Laboratory able to perform the relevant Analytical Testing Procedure, in accordance with the transport conditions outline d in ( see 2.3.
3 above ).

Passport Custody and Sharing For any individual Athlete, only one Passport is to be established.
Using ADAMS for the management of Passport information, ADOs enhance efficiency and program effectiveness through exchange of information and mutual recognition of program outcomes.
Such coordination and reciprocal agreement reduce unnecessary duplication in resource expenditure and foster enhanced confidence among ADO s and Athletes alike.
All Doping Control biological results obtained for an Athlete are collated in their Passport regardless of the Testing Authority .
Only a complete Athlete’s Passport allows the correct determination of Atypical Passport Findings in ADAMS.
Passport administration and possible Results Management can then follow in compliance with the Code with the assurance that the Passports are complete.
Within the framework provided by the ISPPPI and as required by the ISTI (Article 4.9.1) , ADOs shall coordinate their activities where multiple ADOs have Testing jurisdiction over a single Athlete and multiple ADO s may wish to perform Passport Testing.
In the interests of a “one Athlete – one The Sample Collection A uthority or the Sample Collection Personnel shall enter the ABP Doping Control form into ADAMS without delay .
This connects the results of Sample analysis to the Athlete’s unique Passport and links the new Sample data with the Athlete’s historical data for review by the APMU and ADO .
ADAMS Entry The Laboratory or ABP Laboratory analyzes the Sample( s) following the established protocol for blood ABP, blood (serum) and/or urine, as appropriate (Section 3.
3-3.6), and reports the biological results in ADAMS without delay .
Sample Analysis Passport Updated Once the new biological data are entered in ADAMS , the Adaptive Model in ADAMS automatically updates the Athlete’s Passport and any resulting notifications are sent.
The APMU updates the APMU Report in ADAMS including a review of the new or updated Passport with recommendations on intelligent Testing strategies.
APMU Report In the event of an ATPF or when a review is otherwise justified, the APMU shall proceed with the mandatory steps outlined in Annex C of the ISRM (see Section 3.7), which includes liaising with the Experts .
Review process ABP Operating Guidelines – Version 9.0 – July 2023 Page 17/91 Passport ” principle, ADOs shall work cooperatively to see that Testing is coordinated appropriately with all results collated in the Athlete’s Passport in ADAMS and that the Passport Custodian shares the Passport with other ADO s having shared Testing jurisdiction over the Athlete .
2.4.1.
Role of the Passport Custodian Each individual Athlete has a Passport Custodian that ensures that all ADOs that have Testing jurisdiction over the Athlete do not work in isolation.
The Passport Custodian is responsible for sharing Passport information with other ADOs to ensure proper coordination and best use of resource expenditure.
WADA has developed a template agreement for the sharing of Passport information between multiple ADOs (supported by ADAMS), which is included herein in Part Four.
In addition to sharing Passport information with ADOs directly via ADAMS, the Passport Custodian is also responsible for ensure the sharing of relevant Passport -related information with Major Event Organizers (MEO) who are planning Testing around an upcoming competition.
Prior to the event, t he Passport Custodian is responsible for providing relev ant testing recommendations to the MEO including Passport status and/or recent APMU recommendations in order assist MEOs to prioritize their test distribution.
During the event, t he Passport Custodian should ensure that rapid communication of APMU recommendations can be made during the competi tion in response to MEO testing, which will allow the MEO to conduct any follow up testing or additional analysis that may be required as a result of the MEOs testing.
The Passport Custodian is responsible for Results Management of Athlete Passports under their custo dy.
In the case of an ATPF , or when a review is otherwise justified, the APMU contracted by the Passport Custodian is responsible for initiating the Passport review process on behalf of the Passport Custodian.
If an APF is declared, the Passport Custodian is responsible for Results Management of the Passport in compliance with Annex C of the ISRM (Section 3.
7 below), regardless of whether another ADO was the Testing Authority of the test that triggered the ATPF .
As outlined in ISTI Article 10.4, w here the Testing Authority is not the Passport Custodi an, the Testing Authority that initiated and directed the Sample collection maintains the responsibility for additional Analytical Testing of the Sample, including the performance of further Confirmation Procedure(s) upon requests generated automatically by the Adaptive Model of the ABP in ADAMS (e.g.
GC/C/IRMS triggered by elevated T/E) or as requested by the APMU (e.g.
GC/C/IRMS requested due to abnormal secondary Markers of the urinary “longitudinal steroid prof ile”; AAE tests due to suspicious hematological Marker values) and Results Management of the Sample Analytical Testing results.
2.4.2.
Attribution and Transfer of Passport Custody In ADAMS, Passport custody is attributed to the Testing Authority that first tests the Athlete, independently of whether it is a blood ABP test, a blood (serum) test , a urine test, or a combination of these.
This process ensures that the custody will most likely automatically be assigned to the organization that has a r eal interest in the Athlete .
When the Athlete is first tested by a Major Event Organiz ation (MEO ), Passport custody is attributed to the IF.
When a NADO first tests an Athlete with ABP Operating Guidelines – Version 9.0 – July 2023 Page 18/91 a different sport nationality, Passport custody is attributed to the IF.
This can later be reassigned to the NADO of the sport nationality of the Athlete if appropriate.
Passport custody can be transferred in ADAMS by the Passport Custodian to another ADO with Testing jurisdiction over the Athlete.
ADOs should have a procedure in place to monitor their pool of Passports at regular intervals (ex.
quarterly) using the reporting functionalities in ADAMS in order to identify Passports potentially more suitable for management by another ADO .
Reasons for transferring Passport custody may include a change in Athlete level, more frequent Testing by another ADO , or be based on a strategic agreement between ADO s with Testing jurisdiction ove r the Athlete.
The Passport Custodian should make requests in writing regarding any transfers of Passport custody to the recipient ADO .
If no agreement can be found on the Passport custody, WADA shall determine which ADO is the Athlete’s Passport Custodian.
WADA shall not rule on this without consulting the ADOs involved.
ABP Operating Guidelines – Version 9.0 – July 2023 Page 19/91 Part 3: Mandatory Protocols 3.1.
Scope ADOs implementing an ABP Program shall follow mandatory protocols documented in Annexes of the International Standard for Results Management (ISRM) and International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI).
Included herein for the ease of reference, these requirements have been established to harmonize the results of monitored biological Markers within the ABP to ensure both legal fortitude and scientific certainty.
This standardization of procedure allows for the sharing and mutual recognition of Passport data between the anti -doping programs of multiple ADOs .
Only programs that fully adhere to these protocols and fully utilize ADAMS can be considered ABP Programs.
These protocols are linked to Technical Documents and Laboratory Guidelines that a Laboratory or ABP Laboratory shall follow for the analysis of Samples collected within the framework of the ABP (included herein for the sake of completeness).
