Adams (Anti-Doping Administration and Management System) … A name that thrilled sports. Launched in 2005, the computer database of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) forces them to locate, for possible unannounced.
Many of them – the wrestler Steeve Guénot, triple jumper Teddy Tamgho, the rider Gregory Bauge and, more recently, the marathon runner James Theuri – are on the pin by the famous three no-shows ( three absences), which earned them a year’s suspension. The judoka Margaux Pinot agreed to show us how this software.
An agenda to fill
The username and password entered , we arrive on the home page. Calendar, address where supposed to be sports, historical and results of the checks … A priori, the use – on a computer or through an application – is simple. “But the problem with Adams, what are the constraints,” says Margaux Pinot. The athlete should learn and a calendar. “Every beginning of the quarter, I have to give my schedule for the next three months, I have to give a time at which the controller may arise. “” To be sure to be there, “the judoka chose between 6 and 7 hours. “So I have to mark where I am every day in this niche there,” she continues. Address of parents, girlfriends, Insep (where lies the champion), hotels during courses and competitions … Adams wants to know everything.
The obligation to anticipate everything
Of course, the agenda is not fixed and may change the daily sports … but before 17 hours. “If at 18 hours, friends invite me to sleep at home, it’s too late. If, after an evening, a friend offered me to take me, I can not accept. Because of Adams, I can not do things spontaneously. “In an emergency, the displacement at the last minute is a priori possible. “In the Federation, it was explained that in this case, I could send an email to prevent. I do not even know if it is valid. “The puzzle continues before each course or each competition. “To me to see my coach to give me the address of the hotel. “The situation can become impossible when choosing a holiday. “The Himalayas with the backpack, forget” laughs Margaux. It summarizes: “This software requires a great organization, I, I go almost every day, especially to check that I took the right address. “
Fear of no-show
The seriousness of the judoka did not prevent her from committing some mistakes. “It happened to me two or three times to forget to change. I returned to my parents for the weekend, I was on a Saturday morning in Franche-Comté, while the address provided was Insep. In those moments, we stress, plug the phone in case the controller calls while saying that even if he calls, it will not change, since it is not there! “Three absences during inspections (in one year) and the penalty falls. “Eighteen-month suspension (note: against 12 previously), that’s a lot, right? Frankly, it’s easy to forget to change the address, it does not mean that is doped. “
A topic of conversation
Between them, sports talk increasingly of the famous Adams. “When we discuss it, not with a smile, one wonders why it happened to us, joking Margaux, targeted since September. There was a year I did not really know what it was, I had no idea that it was necessary to program as many things. “The most frustrating, perhaps, is that no controller has yet presented in the morning. “You end up wondering when it will come, I will not have fulfilled all the boxes for nothing! “
