IAAF Releases 2007 Annual Doping Control Statistics

Athletics - 20 Mar 2008
   
The IAAF has today released the detailed statistics of its 2007 anti-doping programme including testing numbers, concluded positive cases and a list of athletes tested out-of-competition.

For the calendar year 1 January to 31 December 2007 the IAAF conducted 3277 doping control tests consisting of 1426 in-competition tests and 1759 out-of-competition tests.  This IAAF testing forms part of a world-wide programme where approximately 20,000 samples were collected in the sport of track and field in 2007.

To date the IAAF has publicly announced 10 positive results from the 2007 IAAF testing programme with 8 of these occurring as a result of the targeted out-of-competition testing programme.  A number of further cases are still pending the results management process and final decision.*

In announcing these statistics, IAAF President Mr. Lamine Diack commented “I am proud that the IAAF continues to conduct one of the world’s largest out-of-competition testing programmes and the crucial importance of this is shown in the fact that the majority of our positive results are found in this form of testing”.

“Already the focus of our testing has turned towards the Beijing.  Since the closing of the 2007 World championships we have been concentrating our testing on those athletes who may compete in, or attempt to qualify for the 2008 Olympics and we will conduct well in excess of 1,000 out-of-competition tests between 1 January and the opening of the Olympic Games”, said Mr Diack.

“The IAAF will use every method available to it in the next 5 months to chase down the minority of athletes who may be thinking of cheating and committing fraud against their fellow competitors in Beijing”, said Mr Diack.

For further testing statistics, list of sanctioned athletes, and the list of athletes tested during 2007 please visit the IAAF website at www.iaaf.org/antidoping/news

*The IAAF publicly announces positive cases once the results management process has been finalised and the list is kept continually updated on the IAAF website.
