Correct answer: E — Warn that whereabouts failures can amount to an anti-doping rule violation

Whereabouts rules allow no-notice testing. A combination of missed tests and filing failures within the relevant period can constitute an anti-doping rule violation. Good administrative systems are important for athletes in testing pools.
