London, Oct 4 (ANI): Domestic cleaners in London's 2012 Olympic village will be asked to work as 'doping spies' to help organisers find out potential drug cheats.
"There will be targeted testing at the Games based on the intelligence received," said Jonathan Harris, medical services manager anti-doping at the organising committee of the London Olympics.
"Personnel working at next year's Games such as cleaning people and security guards will be educated so that if they come across behaviour that is untoward, they will come to us," he said.
A record 5000 drug tests will be collected from 10,000 athletes competing at the London Olympics, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
Harris said that on the basis of the information received some athletes could be tested more than once during the Games.
GlaxoSmithKline, Britain's biggest drug maker, would be providing equipment and facilities for an anti-doping laboratory that will be run by King's College London during the Games,
The International Olympic Committee clearly said in July that athletes would be banned from possessing syringes and other medical equipment during the Games unless they had a medical reason to do so. (ANI)
