Much more difficult to explain the huge differences in test results. As the data, the percentage of positive test results with research in different laboratories is very important (5-7 times) is different. However, as we know, testing a variety of laboratories conducted by a single method, and is identical to the approach to survey both in terms of competition and during training. Therefore, it is a significant difference in the final reports are not evidence of anything else, as a flawed system of testing and interpretation of results, depending on the results of doping control on the attitudes and beliefs, which are followed by each laboratory. So all laboratories accredited by the IOC and controlled by WADA, can not be regarded as a system operating on the basis of common standards. Significantly impedes an objective evaluation of the spread of doping and confusing approach anti-doping laboratories to conduct testing in sports. egarding this issue.

Naturally, the anti-doping laboratories accredited and funded by the IOC, should focus on sports included in the program of the Olympic Games. However, in these sports on the materials, for example, 2001 has been tested only 85,465 athletes. The remaining 40 246 tests (31.5%) occurred in non-Olympic sports. Even more surprising is the apparently disproportionate attention to anti-doping laboratories for a variety of Olympic. The greatest interest has been shown to football: from 85 455 test 14 247 (16.7%) occurred in this sport.

And this despite the fact that, firstly, it is well known that Football does not belong to those species which is widespread doping, and secondly, the football Olympic tournament involving only young athletes, resulting in a significantly lower level of this tournament to the World Cup. Increased attention to athletics – 16 563 tests (19.4%) is understandable and justified. However, it is difficult to explain the huge differences in testing athletes in the related and equally popular types of sports, particularly in swimming, rowing, skating and skiing.
