The report also found a 1.26 per cent increase in the number of tests carried out globally last year in comparison with 2014 as well as a 1.1 per cent increase in the number of Adverse Analytical Findings (AAF).

This compares with 30,308 in athletics and 22,652 in cycling.

Aquatics is next on the list with 12,973, followed by weightlifting with 10,262 and rugby union with 8,451. All other sports on the Rio 2016 programme had registered less than 5,400 samples.

Equestrian and golf are lowest with just 419 and 417 respectively.

Of all the summer sports, weightlifting had the highest percentage of tests resulting in ADRV's, at 2.7, closely followed by golf with 2.4.

Samples directly tested by International Federations are also mentioned in the report.

The International Cycling Union tested 7,818 samples in 2015.

The International Association of Athletics Federations was the second most prolific with 4,710 ahead of the International Tennis Federation, with 3,327, and World Rugby with 2,995. A total of 2,161 samples were taken by the International Aquatics Federation, 1,756 by the International Weightlifting Federation and 1,255 by FIFA. The International Ski Federation was the leading winter body with 1,583 in comparison with respective totals of just 67 and 57 by the World Curling Federation and International Luge Federation. Sports added onto the Summer Olympic programme for Tokyo 2020 were also included. There is no record, however, of any tests having been conducted in skateboarding, either by the International Skateboarding Federation or by the International Roller Sports Federation, the body due to organise events in the discipline at the Games in the Japanese capital.

No AAF have been recorded in modern pentathlon, luge or sport climbing.

They found banned substances in 3,809 samples from 303,369 tests carried out globally last year as opposed to 3,153 from 283,304 samples in 2014.

Fifty per cent of these were for anabolic steroids.
