are always one
step ahead, sometimes two or three, but technology is now catching up with drug cheats.” He also discussed an area personal concern within the space, therapeu- tic exemptions and added that he felt that it is an area that is being misused, add- ing, “this is a big issue that needs to be addressed.” Professor Moyna also highlighted the key devel- opments that place
