Garmin-Cervélo’s anti-doping policy
Any and all supplements or medications, not approved by the medical staff of the team, found in possession or being consumed by any rider will result in an immediate suspension from competition. The possible end of this suspension will be determined by team medical staff and management.
All riders are required to participate in the ADSI* testing pool, if they wish to compete.
Any adverse or suspicious finding from ADSI will result in immediate suspension from racing. ADSI and team management will inform all pertinent authorities immediately of this finding, so as they may act accordingly.
ADSI testing may occur 24/7. It is not subject to WADA limitations.
ADSI testing will include tests not yet approved by WADA. These tests, if adverse, will result in a suspension from competition.
Slipstream Sports has a strict no needles policy. No injections or infusions of any kind will be permitted in any racing, training or resting circumstance, no matter time of year, location, or event. If you are a member of this team, you cannot inject yourself or have someone else inject you. Period. If there is a severe medical need, such as cortisone to reduce inflammation in a knee, any injection must approved by the management and medical team. Failure to adhere to this will mean a suspension from all racing.
