In the largest anti-doping effort to date by a private athletic organization, Abbott World Marathon Majors announced Wednesday that it is working on a partnership with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to fund in increased out-of-competition drug testing for elite athletes participating in AWMM events.

1. All athletes who have earned WMM points in 2012-2015.
2. All athletes entered into a 2015 AWMM race who are not included in 1, and who have run 2:27:00 or better (female) or 2:11:00 or better (male) in any marathon during 2012-2014. If these athletes do not score AWMM points, he/she will be dropped from the pool after the event.
3. All athletes making their marathon debut and entered into a 2015 AWMM race who have run a half marathon 1:09:00 or better (female) or 1:00:00 or better (male).
4. In line with the IAAF Anti-Doping Regulations, any other athlete deemed fit for inclusion – at the combined discretion and decision of the AWMM and the IAAF.
5. Entry and exit into and from the AWMM testing pool is fluid and will be updated on a seasonal basis.
6. After the third anniversary of the latest performance earning AWMM points, athletes will leave the pool.  If an athlete officially retires from competition, he or she will leave the pool. 
7. All athletes will be subject to the same rules, obligations and considerations as all others included in the IAAF Registered Testing Pool; with a commitment that they be tested on a regular basis, relative to their competitive schedule, environment and any other aspects deemed pertinent.
