It says that non-compliance “may expose you to consequences that may have an impact on your participation”.
They added: “Failure to comply with these rules, such as the intentional refusal to take a test, may result in disciplinary consequences, such as the withdrawal of your accreditation and right to participate in the Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
Team GB must appoint a trained Covid-19 Liaison Officer, who will monitor strict compliance with the Playbook regulations.
Athletes in Tokyo will be tested daily “to minimise the risk of undetected positive cases that could transmit the virus”.
And following revised border control measures, they must quarantine at their accommodation on arrival and for the next three days.
