Athletes warned against doping during COVID-19

Africa Zone VI Regional Anti-Doping Organisation (RADO) manager, Andrew Kamanga said while anti-doping testing had not been suspended, restrictions in the movement of people had greatly affected the number of out-of-competition tests.

 “Yes, of course, the restrictions in movement have greatly affected the number of out-of-competition tests. However, the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is available and is useful in detecting the use of performance-enhancing substances through the haematological and steroidal modules,” Kamanga said.
