Additionally 635 in-competition tests were completed by FIS at World Cup events, whereby 70 samples were additionally analysed for EPO. These numbers include the pre-competition blood controls which were carried out at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014, where FIS conducted a full-field Blood Testing programme on all Cross-Country and Nordic Combined skiers.
In addition to these, a large number of doping controls were carried out by the National Anti-Doping Agencies both in and out-of-competition.
The overall investment by FIS in its Anti-Doping programme during the 2013/2014 season amounted to approximately CHF 1.5 million. This includes both the in-and out-of-competition testing programmes and various preventive, informational and educational efforts.
