REGULATION 21 during the default hour at the nominated residence and following reasonable attempts by the DCO to obtain further information in order to test the Player during that test attempt, may be deemed a Missed Test which shall go towards the elevation of the Player into the Registered Testing Pool; (d) If a Player knows he will not be available at the nominated residence during the default hour period on any particular day(s), then the Player shall update his whereabouts (either to World Rugby or if agreed to his NADO) prior to the start of the default hour to avoid the possibility of recording a Missed Test. The Player shall specify an alternate one hour period where he will be available for Testing at a nominated residence or location. If the Player cannot be located during the nominated one hour period the DCO shall make reasonable attempts to obtain additional information during the nominated hour in an attempt to locate the Player during that test attempt. However, failure to be available for Testing during the nominated hour at the nominated residence or location and following reasonable attempts by the DCO to obtain further information to test the Player (during that test attempt) may be deemed a Missed Test which shall go towards the elevation of the Player into the Registered Testing Pool. 21.5.6.12 Whereabouts Filing for Testing Pool Players – Periods of Absence from Scheduled Team Activities A Player in the Testing Pool who is not present at scheduled Team activities due to injury, illness or for any personal or other reasons during the season or where there is a break from scheduled Team activities during the season shall be required to be available and accessible for Testing at their nominated residence. The provisions at (c) and (d) above shall apply equally to such Players. 21.5.6.13 Provision of Fraudulent Whereabouts Filing Information Any Player who provides fraudulent information in his Whereabouts Filing, whether in relation to his location during the specified daily 60-minute time slot, or in relation to his whereabouts outside that time slot, or otherwise, thereby commits an anti-doping rule violation under Regulation 21.2.3 (evading Sample collection) and/or Regulation 21.2.5 (Tampering or Attempted Tampering with Doping Control). 21.5.6.14 Player Responsibility for Whereabouts (a) The ultimate responsibility for providing whereabouts information rests with each Player. Players when making a Whereabouts Filing, are solely responsible for ensuring that they provide all of the information required accurately and in sufficient detail to enable World Rugby or Union or its nominee or NADO to locate the Player for Testing on any given day in the quarter.
