Athlete Whereabouts Program
Athlete Whereabouts Program
The majority of carded athletes, as well as some high performance athletes who are not currently carded, are included in the “Registered Testing Pool” with CCES. Complete and accurate whereabouts information must be submitted via ADAMS to the CCES once each quarter for the year by all athletes who are included in the “Registered Testing Pool (RTP).” All RTP Athletes are now required to use the online ADAMS system (see below for more information).
