The use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) has undermined the credibility of sports for many years, with cycling and athletics, especially badly hit. The World Anti-Doping Agency has been tasked with leading the fight against the use of PEDs in sport and has been largely successful in achieving standardisation and harmonisation in terms of rules and regulations but has not addressed the question of testing frequency to any meaningful extent. This study, which focuses on athletics, shows vast differences in testing rates around the world with some of the most successful countries in athletics doing very little testing compared to many other countries.
多年来，使用提高成绩的药物（PEDs）损害了体育界的信誉，自行车运动和田径运动尤其深受其害。世界反兴奋剂机构的任务是领导打击体育界使用PEDs的斗争，并且在实现规则和条例的标准化与统一方面取得了很大成功，但在任何有意义的程度上都没有解决检测频率的问题。这项以田径运动为重点的研究表明，世界各地的检测率存在巨大差异，一些田径运动最成功的国家与许多其他国家相比，检测工作做得很少。
