MONACO (MON): World Athletics President Sebastian Coe has said drug testing and protocols for the Tokyo Olympics will be the most stringent in Olympic history, informs insidethegames.biz. “Technology has improved, significantly, even since 2012. Now, we’ve become much more sophisticated in the way testing takes place. It’s much more intelligence-led. And we’ve also got the AIU and that’s now 20-odd people with a good chunk of those people sophisticated international investigators as well. I feel that I will be taking World Athletics as a federation to Tokyo with better systems in place than any other federation,” he said.
