Roller speed skating’s governing body, FIRS, has released the following statement to all National Federations:
Unfortunately FIRS has noted that the antidoping tests scheduled for some athletes have been unsuccessful because of a wrong place of residence provided in the athletes’ whereabouts. This irregularity will result in a whereabouts failure being recorded against the athlete. Three whereabouts failures in an 18 month period will result in a disqualification of between 1 and 2 years for the athlete.
