b) the existence of a prohibited substance in the body of a tested player, the discovery of the use or attempted use of such a sub- stance or the discovery of the application or attempted application of a prohibited method;

c) a refusal to undergo a test;

d) any behaviour likely to prevent or interfere with a planned test;

e) the act of concealing, changing or eradicating the biological envi- ronment in which tests are held.
