The Milano Cortina 2026 Pre-Games Anti-Doping Program formed an important part of the ITA’s strategy to protect clean sport at the Olympic Winter Games. In the six months before the opening of the Olympic Village, the ITA monitored testing conducted worldwide on athletes who ultimately participated in the Games and issued risk-based testing recommendations to International Federations and National and Regional Anti-Doping Organisations.
The dashboard below provides an overview of testing recorded during this period and allows the data to be explored by discipline, risk category, National Olympic Committee, delegation size, medallists and teams. The accompanying Milano Cortina 2026 pre-Games report provides the methodology, detailed findings and conclusions and is recommended for a full understanding of the results.
The dashboard covers testing recorded between 1 August 2025 and 29 January 2026 (the day before the Opening of the Olympic Village) for athletes who ultimately participated in Milano Cortina 2026.
“Tested according to the recommendations or above” means that the recommended number of tests for the relevant discipline was reached; “tested below the recommendations” means that the athlete was tested at least once but did not reach that level; and “not tested” means that no test was recorded during this specific six-month period.
The recommendations were risk-based and proportionate, meaning that testing expectations differed between disciplines. The figures should therefore not be interpreted in isolation as a measure of the overall effectiveness of an anti-doping program or as evidence of inadequate anti-doping activity for an athlete, discipline, NOC or anti-doping organisation. Testing quality also depends on factors that are not fully reflected by test numbers alone, including targeting, timing, sample type and unpredictability.
The data reflects information available to the ITA in ADAMS as of 20 February 2026 and may be affected by subsequent entries or corrections.
