Doping: USADA adapts in COVID19 era with self-administered doping tests
The United States Anti-Doping Agency says a new self-administered doping test could help protect clean athletes, as the agency tries to ensure no one gets a "free pass" from reduced testing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We're going to push the program and reinvent ourselves during this crisis but hopefully get some long term winnings and understandings from this project that ultimately may have really good impact on the future of antidoping around the world," Tygart told Reuters. "Hopefully when we get restarted from a testing standpoint that we can catch up and we'll have indication if anyone has tried to take advantage of this," said Tygart.
