Drug testing depletes BNOC coffers

Speaking at the BNOC Annual General Assembly (AGA) held in Gaborone recently, Serufho said the BNOC is losing large amounts of money, as they now have to send the samples to Europe for verification after the Bloemfontein laboratory was shut down by the International Olympics Committee (IOC) last year.

“Last year we managed to do 50 tests but this time the number of tests has dropped to 43 because now we are spending more money following the closure of the Bloemfontein laboratory.
