The Person asserted that he didn’t refuse to the DCO, he was misinformed about the Doping Control. Prior he had received insufficient and confusing information from the organizations about the whereabouts and the one-hour-timeslot.

The Appeal Committee considered the issued information and education in question and concludes that the Person indeed didn't refuse to cooperate to Doping Control as a result of miscarriage of justice.

The Person’s situation changed after 1 January 2011 when he became part op the Registered Testing Pool with the obligation to report his whereabouts and one-hour-timeslot.
