Doping control notice

FAQ Regarding the True Sport Course:

Do our members need to redo the course each year?  

Yes, all CPU members need to update their certificate each year after their certificate expires. Each certificate is dated. They need to have a valid certificate on the day of any contest they enter.

Is there an abridged version of the course that is completed each year?

Yes, after doing the initial online full course, 12 months later there is an abridged version for their annual update.

If so, then when does that threshold start?  Is it a certain amount of time following the first time they completed the course?

After completing the initial course, the certificate is valid for 12 months. After the 12 months they must update/renew the certificate by taking the abridged online course. Then they are good for another 12 months.
