Three months have elapsed since Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s directive to bring drivers under a dope testing system to ascertain whether they use drugs, the authorities concerned are yet to start the medical examination.
Officials of Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) said they have no exact idea when the testing will begin as it involves a lot of issues.
Meanwhile, BRTA Chairman Nur Mohammad Mazumder told the Daily Sun that a committee has been formed to implement the prime minister’s directive. “The committee has determined the methodology, places and relevant issues to conduct the dope test. It has already submitted its recommendations.”
The International Tennis Federation said Yastremska was positive for the banned mesterolone metabolite in an out-of-competition test conducted last November.
