Scoreboard AttendantWrite down the times of each athlete during the race.
Anti-Doping Control
Assist the doping control staff by escorting selected athletes to the drug testing area. Since training is necessary on your first day a multi-day commitment may be required. This will be determined when the Anti-Doping schedule is released closer to the event.
