AIU perform 60 per cent of out-of-competition testing during COVID-19 pandemic Tuesday, 29 December 2020
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has reported that 60 per cent of its planned out-of-competition testing during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 went ahead.
These figures were released by AIU chair David Howman in his end-of-year newsletter, where he also mentioned that all COVID-19 preventative measures were undertaken to ensure the safety of athletes and their family members.
There have been no reported COVID-19 incidents relating to testing so far. Although there have been problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic this year, it has also created some opportunities, said Howman.
