Dr. Una May:

The importance of us taking every step we can to ensure that we fight against doping was raised earlier. One of those steps is for us not to leave any stone unturned. That means that we cannot stop testing in plenty of time before the Olympic Games to make sure that we do not get a positive in the last period of time. We will continue testing right up until the time that an athlete steps on board a plane. That would lead to the potential for a late announcement of a positive doping infraction. We have a very rigorous process in place and it is a very highly litigious society that we live in and anti-doping is at the pinnacle of that in sport. Therefore, we will not cut corners and sometimes if we have to make a decision as to whether an announcement is made before or after a weigh-in or before or after a draw, ultimately our process is about ensuring that the procedure is followed to the letter of the law and that we have a solid basis for a case which will go on long beyond the day of the draw.
