Reduced drug testing during the COVID-19 pandemic is like a"gift" for those unscrupulous athletes who will go to any lengths to win and make money, British race walker Tom Bosworth has told The Times newspaper.
The World Anti-Doping Agency said last month that the pandemic had created challenges for drug testers with countries closing borders, cancelling flights and enforcing quarantines, and with the shutdown of the sporting calendar.With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics postponed by a year, Bosworth said some athletes could look to improve their medal chances by taking performance-enhancing drugs during the lockdown.
"It's a really bleak outlook, you can get huge gains in a two to three month period where you know you will not be tested."
