In a continuous effort to promote ‘clean sports’, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, through the National Sports Commission (NSC), will foot the cost for one random drug test per selective national sports associations/federations.
Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, made the declaration yesterday.
Ninvalle said the decision came following much conversation with associations while also taking into consideration that the NSC is cognizant of the fact that the costs for drug testing of athletes across the various sport disciplines is prohibitive.
