REGULATION 21 defined, specific criteria. World Rugby shall coordinate with Unions and/or National Anti-Doping Organisations the identification of such Players and the collection of their whereabouts information. World Rugby shall review and update as necessary its criteria for including Players in its Registered Testing Pool, and shall revise the membership of its Registered Testing Pool from time to time as appropriate in accordance with the set criteria. 21.5.6.2 Registered Testing Pool (a) The Registered Testing Pool shall be considered a high risk pool of Players whose entry into this pool shall be based on their individual or collective behaviour in relation to doping and compliance with the whereabouts requirements of the Testing Pool and World Rugby’s Out of Competition Testing programme. (b) Players shall be notified before they are included in the Registered Testing Pool and when they are removed from that pool. Each Player in the Registered Testing Pool shall do the following, in each case in accordance with Annex I to the International Standard for Testing and Investigations: (a) advise World Rugby of his whereabouts on a quarterly basis; (b) update that information as necessary so that it remains accurate and complete at all times; and (c) make himself available for Testing at such whereabouts (notwithstanding the requirement to be available for Sample collection at all times pursuant to Regulation 21.22.1.2). (c) Players entered into the Registered Testing Pool will be required to provide accurate, complete and updated whereabouts information to World Rugby (and/or their NADO as agreed by World Rugby) for each day in the forthcoming quarter via their Union and/or ADAMS (if applicable) for the purpose of No Advance Notice Out of Competition Testing. Such whereabouts information shall include, without limitation, the Player identifying where he will be living, training and competing so that he can be located for Testing during that quarter at the times and locations specified and, in addition, one specific 60-minute slot between 6am and 11pm each day where the Player will be available at a specific location for Testing, notwithstanding the provision of his whereabouts information outside of that 60-minute time slot. (d) Entry into the Registered Testing Pool will be based on the criteria outlined in Regulation 21.5.6.4. World Rugby may revise its Registered Testing Pool from time to time as appropriate. (e) Players who are members of the Registered Testing Pool of their NADO, and whose Union is part of World Rugby’s Out of Competition Testing programme shall remain part of the Testing Pool unless those Players fulfil the criteria outlined in Regulation 21.5.6.4. World Rugby will liaise with NADOs for the purposes of World Rugby’s Out of Competition Testing programme to ensure a coordinated approach to the application of its global whereabouts policy and procedures.
