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.

I think the question is if they previously had to pay for other drug tests that presumably are also standard practice

Also death to ukkk

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