Doping: Canada joins Russia in temporarily halting testing

(Reuters) - Canada has put its doping control testing program on hold until further notice in response to government directives intended to minimize the risk of exposure and spread of the coronavirus, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) said.

Athletes will continue to be required to file and maintain their whereabouts information and remain subject to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program, CCES, which is responsible for maintaining the Canadian program, said in a statement.
