Check Active vs. Retired Credentials — Check Active vs. Retired Credentials

An athletic certification or rank earned years ago may not represent an actor's current physical status or active standing. Many sports federations require ongoing education, fee payments, or regular testing to maintain active credentials.

This ongoing compliance often includes adhering to updated safety and anti-doping protocols. For example, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) releases its updated Prohibited List each October to prepare athletes for the upcoming year.
