Covid disrupted drug testing. Athletes hope that doesn’t taint Tokyo Olympics

U.S. Olympic swimmer Lilly King didn’t mince her words when she was recently asked how the covid-19 disruption might impact doping at the Tokyo Olympics.

“I would definitely say some of the countries that have not been as trusted are probably taking advantage of the time that they had without testing,” said King, the champion breaststroker who’s trying to defend her Olympic title next week.
