Recently, ITU elite athletes had an opportunity to take part in an Anti-doping Survey. This survey will serve to shape ITU’s Anti-doping programme for the next few years.  For the past two weeks, we revealed the first few questions to do with anti-doping education.  We will continue with the testing questions this week.
