What was your job in anti-doping at the Olympics?
<\/strong>I was an anti-doping personnel. I worked both as a doping control officer and a station manager. The station manager is in charge of the doping control station at a given venue. That could be a single sport or multiple ones if they\u2019re hosted at the same site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow! Where did you work during your time at the Olympics?
<\/strong>I worked at London 2012 and Rio 2016. In London, I was based at aquatics the whole time, doing both swimming and diving. In Rio, I managed the station for whitewater rafting and then BMX, as they were both in the same venue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, what is the structure of the anti-doping team?<\/strong>
<\/strong>At the base level, you have chaperones. They\u2019re the ones who notify the athlete they’ve been selected for testing, and take them to the doping control station. The doping control officer handles the sample collection. It\u2019s usually a urine sample or sometimes blood. Then you have the station manager, like me, who oversees the full process and team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you explain the athlete testing process?<\/strong>
<\/strong>As soon as an athlete is notified, it’s always a no-notice notification, they\u2019re escorted by a chaperone to do the sample. They can do certain things first, like press or medal ceremonies, but no mingling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any myths about the job?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, you physically have to watch the athlete pass the sample. People say, \u2018You what?\u2019 You physically have to, because obviously, it’s all about protecting yourself, and protecting the athletes. So, you have to watch every step of the way. People think it\u2019s a bit weird, but it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also frustrating sometimes with how confidential it is. You\u2019re right next to some of the most famous athletes in the world, but you can\u2019t take selfies or tell anyone about it, like the other jobs. But it is really cool, you\u2019re not their friend, you\u2019re part of a regulatory process. It\u2019s a very privileged position, but extremely discreet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

How did you get into anti-doping work?
<\/strong>I started as a volunteer chaperone at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. It all went from there. From that first volunteering role, I gradually moved up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need special qualifications or training?
<\/strong>Definitely training, and it’s very specific to each role. Chaperones are trained on how to approach and speak to athletes, how to escort them properly, and how to complete paperwork accurately. You get re-accredited every two years and must pass a DBS check. That\u2019s especially important because athletes can be young teenagers, or vulnerable adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Have there been any highlights having worked at the Olympics?<\/strong>
<\/strong>I have loved the opportunity to travel and the places I\u2019ve been. I never would have gone to Brazil otherwise. I would\u2019ve gone to Tokyo if COVID hadn\u2019t happened. This job can take you anywhere. I also worked at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the hardest part?<\/strong>
<\/strong>The waiting. You wait, and wait, and wait. You can\u2019t rush an athlete who isn\u2019t ready to give a sample, so you could be there for hours. Some people found that really frustrating, but I didn\u2019t mind it much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, do you have advice for someone curious about this field?<\/strong>
<\/strong>Volunteer! People often dismiss it, but that first step opened up the world for me. UK Anti-Doping does recruit from time to time, and people from all walks of life, especially say teachers, ex-police officers, do well in this role. Definitely volunteer where you can, you never know where it will take you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
