Athletics governing body to test FEWER athletes at World Champs

In what would appear to be a massive PR own-goal, it's emerged that the IAAF is to abandon its policy of drug-testing every athlete during the upcoming world championships in Beijing.

Every competitor at Daegu in 2011 and in Moscow in 2013 were required to provide at least one blood sample during the Championships, but the Guardian reports that only a third of this year's competitors will have their blood taken for examination.
