The IAAF had previously refused to reveal how many athletes it would test at the championships, claiming that “in order to maintain the integrity of the programme, the IAAF doesn’t disclose its actual testing programme for the event”. However, after confirming its approach to the Guardian the body moved to defend itself. In a statement it said: “The most important time to be testing many of the athletes is during the off-season when the heavy training loads are taking place. That approach is no secret – but it is often easier for sports to simply pile on the tests during the event itself and claim a successful anti-doping programme. “The reality is far from it. The testing in Beijing is important – but nowhere near as important as a truly non-notice out-of-competition (OOC) programme conducted during the preceding six months or longer.” When asked specifically why the federation was scaling back on blood testing in Beijing, an IAAF spokesman said that in the previous championships it had collected a blood sample from every athlete because “it was establishing the athlete biological passport in athletics with a specific interest in establishing population-based reference values. Sebastian Coe is running against the Ukraine’s Sergey Bubka for the IAAF presidency and the winner of the election will oversee a sport dogged by doping allegations.

Another two years on, the passport is now well established and it has proved an effective tool not only for pursuing anti-doping rule violations but also as an intelligence source for the target testing of specific athletes. The IAAF will be collecting between 600 and 700 blood samples at these championships and the majority of these will be targeted samples. The focus this time around will be on detection and elite athletes rather than deterrence and mass screening.” Advertisement But the IAAF’s explanation does not sit comfortably with everyone in the sport with concerns raised that the decision sent out a confusing and disappointing message. The fears are that focusing on detection rather than deterrence does not address the issues of doping among lower-level athletes. It is also likely to raise a few eyebrows among fans after what has been a desperately damaging few weeks. Last week, the Sunday Times and ARD further claimed the London marathon was won seven times in 12 years by athletes with suspicious blood values, while the IAAF revealed that “adverse findings” emerged from retested samples from 28 athletes taken during the 2005 and 2007 world championships. The Sunday Times has also alleged that a successful British athlete was found to have suspicious blood values, although it has not named the person. The IAAF has also come under heavy criticism. Last week the Olympic discus champion Robert Harting warned that he does not trust the federation, while Nick Willis, a silver medallist in the 1500m at the 2008 Olympics, said he feared that top athletes were protected “for the sake of the sport”. Insiders in the sport are also fearing the results of once an ethics commission, headed by Michael Beloff QC, when it finishes its inquiry into potential corruption. However, the IAAF maintains that despite all its recent troubles it is leading the way in global sport’s fight against doping. It hopes that its out-of-competition testing programme in the runup to Beijing, which started at the beginning of the year, will bear fruit. This article was corrected on 18 August because the headline said that only a third of athletes would be drug-tested. It was corrected to read blood-tested. Urine tests remain at the same level and a sentence was added to the article to reflect this.
