22 Mar 2020 11:22PMPARIS: Restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic have reduced the number of doping tests to a minimum, creating another hurdle for the Tokyo Olympics to clear to go ahead on time.
"As the Olympic and Paralympic Games have so far not been cancelled or postponed, it is important that the athletes have a fair chance for Tokyo," NADA said."This also includes the necessary doping controls and the pre-Olympic test programme."It is almost impossible to carry out controls," he said,"unless we have a very strong suspicion."
"But often the controllers are health personnel. We're not going to mobilise them and ask them to use masks when there is a shortage," said one European anti-doping agency.ITA established a task force last year, Francesca Rossi, director of testing at the French Anti-Doping Agency told AFP. "But the possibility for your normal training is also quite reduced, you can dope but you have not the possibility to do your usual training routine," he added."The doping become less effective."
