• • • Refusing or failing without compelling justification to submit to sample collection as required by the Organiser or otherwise evading sample collection.
• Tampering or attempted tampering with any part of doping control.
• Possession by a Player in-competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, or possession by a Player out of competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, unless the Player establishes that the possession is pursuant to a therapeutic use exemption.
• Possession by a Player's support personnel in-competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, or possession by a Player's support personnel out of competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance in connection with a Player, unless the Player support personnel establishes that the possession is pursuant to a therapeutic use exemption.
• Trafficking or attempted trafficking in any Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method.
• Administration to any Player in-competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, or administration to any Player out of competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance or assisting, encouraging, aiding, abetting, covering up or any other type of complicity involving an anti-doping rule violation or any attempted anti-doping rule violation.

Excepting those substances for which a quantitative threshold is specifically identified in the Prohibited List, the presence of any quantity of a Prohibited Substance or its metabolites or markers in a Player's sample shall constitute an anti- doping rule violation.

Participants are obliged to undergo doping tests if required by Organiser. In particular, every Player designated to undergo a doping test, whether as a result of target testing or the draw by lots, is obliged to provide a urine sample and, if requested, a blood sample and to undergo any medical examination which Organiser deem necessary.

• • • Refusing or failing without compelling justification to submit to sample collection as required by the Organiser or otherwise evading sample collection.
• Tampering or attempted tampering with any part of doping control.
• Possession by a Player in-competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, or possession by a Player out of competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, unless the Player establishes that the possession is pursuant to a therapeutic use exemption.
• Possession by a Player's support personnel in-competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, or possession by a Player's support personnel out of competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance in connection with a Player, unless the Player support personnel establishes that the possession is pursuant to a therapeutic use exemption.
• Trafficking or attempted trafficking in any Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method.
• Administration to any Player in-competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance, or administration to any Player out of competition of any Prohibited Method or any Prohibited Substance or assisting, encouraging, aiding, abetting, covering up or any other type of complicity involving an anti-doping rule violation or any attempted anti-doping rule violation.
