Australian athletes at the Rio Olympics are being roused from their beds after just a few hours of sleep to be drug tested, prompting a complaint by team management.Among those to have their sleep disrupted are swimmer Cameron McEvoy and the mens hockey team.They had knocks on their doors about 6am Rio time (1900 AEST) despite only getting to bed three or four hours earlier.Chef de mission Kitty Chiller says the team is fully supportive of the tests but officials need to be mindful that competitive schedules have changed for some sports.They want to be tested. They dont mind being tested. Test them 100 times, test them 1000 times, but do it at a time that shows some respect for their competition schedule, Chiller said.We are concerned about swimmers, hockey players, all our team members getting a knock on their door at six or seven oclock in the morning when theyve had a late night.The Australians have raised their concerns with drug testing authorities and the International Olympic Committee said the complaint was a reasonable one.Spokesman Mark Adams said drug testers should work around the revised competition schedules if possible.But it depends on whether the authorities are able to carry out effective doping controls, he said.The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) did not respond to requests for comment.About 5500 tests will be conducted on the 10,500 athletes in Rio including the top five athletes in every final along with two others at random.Those tests samples will be kept for 10 years to be re-tested using new techniques that may be developed in the future.Chiller said she did not believe the early morning tests had been detrimental to performances so far.But its not something that is ideal when you cant get a full nights sleep, she said.
