WADA on new revelations: “Very rare occurrence”

However, it considers the circumstances described therein to be a “very rare occurrence” due to the small number of such cases that have occurred in the past. In addition, the potential is scientifically limited to a very small number of banned substances that can be absorbed through the skin, for example the anabolic steroid Clostebol. In the documentary on Saturday (18.00:XNUMX p.m.) the Erste reported on an experiment that provided evidence of how clean athletes become victims of doping attacks through fleeting skin contact. The investigation was carried out by the ARD doping editorial team and the Institute for Forensic Medicine at the University Hospital of Cologne. In the series of experiments, twelve test subjects were administered small amounts of various anabolic steroids using a carrier substance through the skin - through minimal touching of the hand, neck and arm, according to an ARD announcement on Friday. The initial evaluation of the samples by the Cologne doping control laboratory revealed a massive suspicion of fraud for all test subjects. WADA recognizes that some athletes may be concerned when viewing this documentary. This possibility of transmission is known within the anti-doping community, it said. WADA hopes that the makers of the documentary will provide all relevant evidence to the anti-doping agency so that it can then assess whether “new data has come to light. “WADA continually adapts its methods and processes as scientific evidence emerges,” it said. Athletes can continue to trust that the anti-doping system will continue to contain a variety of safety precautions in the future and will be further adapted as science advances.
