The meeting was attended by representatives from all the 11 ministries, which paved the way to the coordination scheme.

Duan also highlighted China's other achievements in fights against doping including the recent foundation of an independent National Anti-Doping Agency.

"With a total of 60 working staff, this independent agency will further improve China's anti-doping work," he said.

China conducted 9428 tests on its athletes in 2006 and the total number of tests is expected to exceed 10,000.

"About 60 percent of the tests are out-of-competition and without advance notice. Elite athletes from high-risk sports are our major testing targets," he said.

The Chinese also made brief introduction of the progress in anti-doping work for the Beijing Olympics.

"The number of tests for the 2008 Olympic Games will total more than 4500. A new laboratory with a total area of 5500 square meters will soon be operational," he said.

"The Chinese Anti-Doping Organization and BOGOC will make joint efforts to cooperate with the IOC and WADA to make this Olympic Games a clean one."
