8.2.2.1. Drug Free Sport will, during the telephone conversation, advise the director of athletics that specimen B will be tested. The student-athlete may be present at the opening of specimen B.
8.2.2.2. The institution and/or the student-athlete will be given the option to be represented at the labora- tory for the opening of specimen B. Notification by the institution and/or the student-athlete of intent to be represented must be given to Drug Free Sport.
8.2.2.3. If the institution and/or the student-athlete desires representation, they must inform Drug Free Sport within 48 hours and present themselves at the lab within two business days of the notification. If they cannot arrange for such representation, Drug Free Sport will arrange for a surrogate to attend the opening of specimen B.
8.2.2.3.1. The surrogate will not otherwise be involved with the analysis of the specimen.
8.2.2.4. The student-athlete, student-athlete’s repre- sentative, the institution’s representative or the surro- gate will attest by signature as to the code number on specimen B, that the security seal has not been broken, and that there is no evidence of tampering.

Upon notification of the specimen B posi- tive finding, the institution shall be required to declare the student-athlete ineligible, and the institu- tion is obligated to withhold the student-athlete from all intercollegiate competition.
