51: Testing other than under testing programme established under anti-doping rules

You could also call this:

"Extra drug tests for sports teams that aren't part of the regular testing programme"

Illustration for Integrity Sport and Recreation Act 2023

The Commission can do extra testing for a national sporting organisation if they ask for it. This testing is not part of the regular testing programme that follows the anti-doping rules. The Commission can charge the organisation a fee for this extra testing. The fee the Commission charges must be fair and based on the costs of doing the testing. If the Commission does this extra testing, athletes have the same rights as they do during the regular testing programme, which you can learn more about by checking the anti-doping rules.
