Your report will be directed to the CCES Intelligence and Investigations Unit. A member of the team will carefully review the information you provide and determine the appropriate course of action. He or she may contact you via the secure post box for further information if necessary.

It allows the CCES to communicate anonymously with the report’s creator after the doping report has been submitted.
