World Athletics president Sebastian Coe says the track and field’s governing body has approved the introduction of cheek swabs and dry blood-spot tests for female athletes in order to maintain “the integrity of competition.

World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said the testing plan is “not just talking about the integrity of female, women’s sport but actually guaranteeing it.”

World Athletics plans to introduce biological pre-clearance tests for track and field athletes before they can compete in the female category, the sport’s governing body announced Tuesday.
