Testing

“We must ensure a clean sport and fairness amongst all competitors. One way is to search for cheating athletes through doping controls. We are continuously increasing and improving the number of controls in all our events.”
Hansjörg Wirz, President 


As part of European Athletics drive to iradicate doping from our sport we focus not only on education, but tests, in particular pre- and in-competition tests to ensure that competing athletes are clean and healthy. 

Below you will find transparent and updated statistics relating to the number of doping control tests and blood screenings conducted at European Athletics events and meetings.  To find out more about the European Athletics Testing Programme and the panel of Doping Control Delegates, please click on the link below:
