A webinar is set to be held later this month to ensure athletes understand what it means to be in a testing pool.
The International Testing Agency will run the “Whereabouts – all your questions answered” webinar on March 25.
The aim of the virtual gathering is to help athletes understand their responsibilities when belonging to registered pools or testing pools and to answer questions regarding submitted Whereabouts information.
With the help of two expert panellists, the ITA will address the questions that it most frequently receives from athletes on this topic.
This month’s webinar includes Olympian Tracey Lambrechs, who was part of a testing pool in weightlifting for many years.
Lambrechs represented New Zealand at the Rio 2016 Olympics and has won multiple medals on the international stage, including bronze at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
She will be joined by ITA Athlete Support Officer Kate Hovrjaka.
Attendees are invited to submit their questions by March 18.
It will be delivered in English with simultaneous translation to four additional languages - Arabic (العربية), Spanish (español), French (français) and Russian (русский).
