106 [Comment to Article 19.2: With due regard to an Athlete’s human rights and privacy, legitimate anti-doping considerations sometimes require Sample collection late at night or early in the morning. For example, it is known that some Athletes Use low doses of EPO during these hours so that it will be undetectable in the morning.]
107 [Comment to Article 19.6: Failure to cooperate is not an anti-doping rule violation under the Code, but it may be the basis for disciplinary action under the rules or conduct requirements of the relevant National Sporting Organisation.. The requirement for cooperation shall respect appropriate procedural safeguards (including without limitation the right to legal counsel and the right not to self-incriminate) as described in the International Standard for Intelligence and Investigations.]
