Michael Phelps took his first step toward competing in his fifth Olympics by rejoining the U.S. drug-testing program, a move that paves the way for him to compete in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro.
The 22-time Olympic medalist underwent drug testing. According to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) website, Phelps was drug-tested twice between July 1 and Sept.30 of this year. His coach, Bob Bowman, said that Phelps actually re-joined the testing pool late in the second quarter, meaning Phelps would be eligible to compete in meets again as early as March 2014.
FINA, the world governing body for swimming, requires athletes to be drug-tested for at least nine months before taking part in FINA-sanctioned events.
