In COVID-19 world, anti-doping gives in-home testing a try
The typical day for Noah Lyles now looks something The world-champion sprinter is one of 15 American athletes who have volunteered to conduct in-home drug tests on themselves as part of a pilot program being run by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. USADA CEO Travis Tygart says the program gives clean athletes a chance to prove they have remained clean during a time in which anti-doping regulators are having a difficult time reaching the numbers of athletes they normally would. It was going to unnecessarily create a question when those athletes went to Tokyo and won, where people would say, ‘You won but you weren’t tested,’ during the pandemic,” Tygart said. "You do your part to show you’re clean, and you get to the state where it’s, ‘I’m clean, come test me,’" Lyles said.
