<p>UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) publishes its doping test figures on a quarterly basis to
preserve the integrity of the test allocation process and ensure the “no advance notice”
testing principle is protected. Therefore, UKAD’s figures for the in- and out-of-competition
tests it has carried out since 17 March 2020 are only partially available.</p><p>
</p><p>Testing figures for Q4 of 2019/20, which covers January-March 2020, have been
published on UKAD’s website. According to this report, the domestic and international
Anti-Doping Testing Programme carried out 2,512 tests during this period. Testing
figures for Q1 of 2020/21, which covers April-June 2020, will be published after the
period is complete.</p><p> </p><p>Athletes are not required to declare in advance
of tests if they, or anyone they are living with, are at higher risk from, or clinically
extremely vulnerable to, COVID-19. UKAD has asked athletes and National Governing
Bodies to provide this information to help their planning, however does not have plans
to make this publicly available.</p><p> </p>
