Havana's Anti-Doping Laboratory is another victim of US blockade Havana's Anti-Doping Laboratory is another victim of US blockade Havana, Apr 12 (Prensa Latina) 'The US economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba has a strong impact on the Havana Anti-Doping Laboratory,' its director Master of Science Rodny Montes de Oca denounced on Monday. In statements to Granma newspaper, the specialist noted that the US government's blockade exerts an enormous pressure on the entity because they must spend between 40 and 50 percent more financial resources than other facilities in the world to acquire supplies and reagents in third countries. According to Montes de Oca, this situation worsened with the effects caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in the world with the delay in the delivery of supplies, difficulties in their production, as well as the restrictive measures of border closures.
