London Olympics to have 'best' anti-doping technology

London Olympics will have the most complex anti-doping programme in history 2012 chief Sebastian Coe said on Tuesday as officials prepared for the one-year countdown to the sporting showpiece.

In press conference on the eve of Wednesday's one year-to-go milestone, Coe said drug testers at London 2012 would be equipped with the most latest anti-doping technology of any Olympics in history.

"What I can say to players coming to London is that we will have the technology in place that is in excess of any technology that you have ever encountered anywhere in the world," London 2012 chairman said.

"You come to London and you try that, we will get you," Coe warned, citing the triple-pronged enforcement strategy of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), London 2012 organisers and British police.

"It's the number of tests,  it's the technology," Coe furture said in press conference, while acknowledging that no Olympics was likely to be drug-free.

"I am too realistic that there will always be people in sport that will want to step beyond the boundaries, legal and moral that we set ourselves, and it is for us to be eternally vigilant.

"Can I guarantee an entirely drug free Games? The answer is no, but we will do everything in our power to make that happen."

Olympic officials have already directed their determination to crack down on the use of syringes outside medical areas while IOC chief Jacques Rogge has said the war against doping remains the organisation's top priority.
