All competitors are required to make themselves available for random drug testing. If any prohibited substance is found to be present within body tissue or fluids, the competitor is immediately suspended until a hearing at which the officiating body will make a final decision on the competitor’s fate. If found guilty, a competitor faces a minimum ban of four years and a maximum of a life ban from the sport.
