  • If your wave is later in the day then rest, you may want to watch others, but rest too as the nervous energy of being around the course will tire you out before you get into the water

      1. Anti-Doping Program


The information below is taken from the official information pack.
Important note for all competitors On behalf of the European Triathlon Union and the Portuguese Triathlon Federation, the host and organizer of the Lisbon Triathlon European Championships, we allow us to inform you about some important details in relation to the handling and execution of the current ITU anti-doping program during the event in Portugal.
During the world championships the ITU will carry out a high rate of doping controls. In conformity with the international standards for testing urine samples will be taken as well as blood samples. Thereby the junior-, U 23- and the elite-athletes will be also monitored as well as the Age Group athletes. The ITU intensifies its fight against doping by conducting strict pre competition controls beside the regular competition controls. In this context we want you to take notice of the following: According to the WADA-Code and rule 4.4. ITU anti-doping rules each participating athlete with documented medical conditions requiring the use of a prohibited substance or a prohibited method basically has to exhibit a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). Thereby each athlete is generally obliged to provide a TUE issued by ITU (rule 4.4.2.). For the purpose of these provisions and for the facilitation of the result management, the ITU and its anti-doping administrator accept the following:


  1. For athletes taking part at the ITU Age Group World Championships: the presentation of medical certificates including medical diagnosis and prescribed substances.

In relation to the facilitation for Age Group athletes the ITU reserves its right to evaluate their presented certificates and to deny the acceptance. I TU assumes no liability for drinks or food every athlete ingests during the race. ITU cautions all athletes about possible ingredients being part of the list of prohibited substances in context with ITU anti-doping rules and the WADA prohibited list. Also the intake of food supplements before and during the race - happens at athletes own risk. With possible ITU anti-doping rule violations in mind each athlete should urgently inform himself on the ingredients of these supplements before every intake. During the Triathlon European Championships 2008 testing will take place for the juniors, U23, elite and Age Groupers. In case of being tested the athlete needs to carry a copy of his identity card including a photo.


Policy: Any athlete can be chosen for random drug testing during training prior to the race and on completion of the race.

Procedure: Athletes will be notified immediately after the race and will be accompanied by the chaperone until a sample for analysis is provided. A team representative may accompany each competitor throughout the doping control procedures.
