Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which new testing techniques have become available in the UK to retest samples for re-analysis from the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic athletes since 2012; how often UK Anti-Doping has used such technology; when that technology was introduced; and for what category of drug testing in sport that technology can be used.

Answer

UK Anti-Doping cannot disclose details of new technology used in relation to retrospective testing as this might undermine what it is trying to achieve when re-testing samples.
