Sports Minister Jakob Forssmed critical after few Swedish doping tests: 'Needs to be reviewed'

Swedish Sports Minister Jakob Forssmed expressed concern over the low number of doping tests conducted on Swedish athletes ahead of the Winter Olympics.

Ahead of the Winter Olympics, the International Testing Agency (ITA) revealed startling statistics regarding doping tests among athletes from various countries. Notably, only 30% of Swedish Olympians were tested as frequently as ITA recommends in the six months leading up to the Games. This figure highlights a concerning trend for Sweden, especially when compared to other countries, and raises questions about the adequacy of the nation's doping control measures.
