Has there actually been any in contest drug testing? I've heard of
a little, but have never seen it.

In work on anti-doping an out of competition testing will be a
reality for CIVL in 2014. As required by FAI, the Bureau chose randomly four
pilots. Two among them will be chosen by FAI for out of competition testing in
2014.

Chosen four randomly? From what list? The list of all hang glider
and paraglider pilots who have CIVL ID's?

Is this hilarious or what? Two pilots out of how many? Who is going to pay for
it?

Chosen randomly from the top 100 (in each of various disciplines) according to
Agust Gudmundsson, CIVL President, from a total of 615.

If you are one of the two pilots chosen (randomly) please contact me and tell me
how it goes. Do you have to tell WADA where you will be for the next year? When
does it start for you? Are you going to go along with it? Is this really just a
French thing?

The FAI continues to not real happy about drug testing, and wants an exception
for aviation.

Stephane Malbos tells me now that the pilots haven't been chosen yet.
