World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has suspended the accreditation status of the Rio Olympics laboratory due to a non-conformance with the ISO 17025 standard. All samples for drug testing at the olympics will be directed to an accredited laboratory for testing. This lab has previously failed an accreditation visit and had to spend $60 million on facility upgrades and training for 90 technicians to be reinstated. https://www.wada-ama.org/en/media/news/2016-06/wada-suspends-accreditation-of-rio-laboratory http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/25/sports/olympics/rio-drug-testing-lab-is-suspended-by-wada.html?smid=tw-nytsports&smtyp=cur&_r=0 ------ACB discussion List Information-------- This is an open discussion list for the academic and clinical community working in clinical biochemistry.
