China's Anti-Doping Agency (CHINADA) has been well prepared for the anti-doping program at the upcoming IAAF World Championships to be held in Beijing from Aug. 22 to 30.
All the urine and blood samples collected at the world championships will be analyzed in the Beijing lab as CHINADA will send a team of around 200 to carry out the anti-doping tests.
Educational outreach programs will be set up in the three hotels that athletes and coaches stay.
"We are ready after nearly two years of preparation," said Zhao Jian, deputy director of CHINADA.
Athletics' world governing body has yet to release its anti-doping plan at the world championships, while it is busy handling the crisis that allegations of widespread doping has seriously damaged the sport.
In 2013 Moscow world championships, 670 urine tests and 1,919 blood tests were conducted before seven athletes tested positive.
According to IAAF, Beijing's meet could potentially be the biggest world championships in the 15 editions of the event with 1,936 athletes (1043 men and 893 women) from 207 countries and regions entering.
"Although the number of athletes that will finally participate in Beijing will be slightly less, as is normal, this figure still compare favorably with the current highest total of 1,895 who competed at the 2009 championships in Berlin," said IAAF on its official website.
