Recorded through urine and blood tests.

The source specified the following information:
"An analytical ADRV refers to a violation of Code Article 2.1 (Presence of a prohibited substance or its metabolites or markers in an athlete’s sample) and is based on an AAF (otherwise known as a positive result), which indicates the presence of a prohibited substance or its metabolite(s) or of marker(s) of the use of a prohibited substance in a urine and/or blood sample collected from an athlete and analyzed by a WADA-accredited Laboratory.

A non-analytical ADRV is a case in which an athlete or athlete support person (coach, trainer, manager, agent, medical staff, parent, etc.) commits another type of ADRV that does not involve the detection of a prohibited substance or prohibited method in a urine or blood sample from athletes, as outlined in the 2015 World Anti-Doping Code (Code) Articles 2.2 to 2.10."
