In rare cases, in which athletes do not have access to the internet, whereabouts updates can be subitted by telephone to NADA Germany or by SMS via ADAMS.

Information about WADA's app
- The 'Athlete Central' app was developed by WADA and released on November 28, 2019. NADA is also a user of the app.
- All problems with the Athlete Central app that NADA Germany receives from athletes are communicated by NADA to WADA so that the system can be improved.
- The ADAMS app (not the ADAMS system) was shut down on April 15, 2020. Athletes who do not use the ADAMS desktop version exclusively should download the Athlete Central app.
