Yes, that was my point.
If they have to pay “out of pocket” for existing tests it’s at-least consistent, if unsavoury.

Ehm, this is an international organization’s regulations. Not the UK at fault here.
The UK is just advising their own athletes of the international org’s policy - and telling them to pay out of pocket rather to “avoid delays”, even though financing is available to those who need it on a “case by case” basis.
