More than 500 model schools have been named and a series of Olympic readers compiled and presented to students. 17. Highest number of doping tests
The anti-doping effort at the Beijing Games will be more extensive than ever, with as many as 4,500 doping tests, 25 percent more than in Athens four years ago and 90 percent more than in Sydney in 2000. Tests will be carried out from July 27 at 41 test stations at the Olympic Village and all Olympic match venues. |
