USADA claimed MODOC would "reduce the potential for human error", "improve the flow and security of testing data" and "ensure that results are obtained in a timely and accurate manner".

MODOC has been used at several major sporting events, including the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and last year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

"USADA is constantly looking for ways to improve our service to athletes while also ensuring the highest levels of security and the absolute integrity of the anti-doping process," said USADA chief executive Travis Tygart.

"The strategic implementation of MODOC illustrates our commitment to being the gold-standard in anti-doping, and we’ve been extremely pleased with the smooth transition to this new technology."

According to USADA, athletes who have been tested using MODOC have praised the ease of use of the system.

USADA said MODOC allows for a "more straightforward anti-doping process", reducing the potential for confusion or frustration and ensuring athletes are able to focus on their performance.

"We are thrilled to partner with USADA and support their efforts to protect clean athletes and the integrity of competition," said MODOC provider Volker Laakmann, chief executive of German company Professional Worldwide Controls.

"MODOC is a platform that will bring new levels of efficiency, security, and athlete satisfaction to the anti-doping programme."
