The Libyan Anti-Doping Committee has launched the country's first doping tests using intravenous blood samples during athletic competitions.
Committee head Mohamed Al-Faqih announced that the initiative follows the completion of extensive preparations at the committee’s testing and sampling office. The decision aligns with a directive from the International Anti-Doping Agency, urging national bodies to adopt blood sampling in their anti-doping efforts.
The testing forms part of a broader national campaign, backed by the Ministry of Sports, aimed at modernizing the country’s approach to combating doping.
Officials say the initiative represents a critical step in safeguarding the integrity of Libyan sports and keeping pace with international standards.
