IAAF says it will increase its drug testing program for 2007. The announcement came Wednesday, on the final day of the IAAF Council meeting in Monte Carlo. Track and field’s world governing body will conduct between 2200 and 2300 out-of-competition tests next year, and between 1300 and 1400 in-competition.
That is an increase from 1222 in-competition and 1085 out-of-competition tests this year. 39 doping violations were discovered in the 2006 tests.
