1000 Aussie athletes to be tested for drugs
AFP reports that around 1000 Australian athletes will be tested for drugs leading up to the Beijing Olympics.
Tests will then be stored for eight years in the new plan.

Olympic organizers are planning on doing a record 4,500 drug tests during the games - around half of all athletes.
