International Standard for Testing and Investigations (ISTI)

To that end, the International Standard for Testing and Investigations (including its annexes) establishes mandatory standards for test distribution planning (including collection and use of athlete whereabouts information), notification of athletes, preparing for and conducting sample collection, security/post-test administration of samples and documentation, and transport of samples to laboratories for analysis.

The second purpose of the International Standard for Testing and Investigations is to establish mandatory standards for the efficient and effective gathering, assessment and use of anti-doping intelligence and for the efficient and effective conduct of investigations into possible anti-doping rule violations.

The 2023 version of the ISTI enters into force on 1 January 2023.
