International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge says there will 1,200 drug tests at the Turin Winter Games, an increase of 72 per cent.
He said systematic blood tests would be carried out for the first time, and all samples kept for the next eight years.
"We have a duty to put in place the strongest measures to trap the small minority who cheat," he said.
Rogge said he was concerned about the slow reactions from governments to approve the World Anti-Doping Code.
"We express the hope that the governments will abide by their promise to have adopted the code by the first day of the Turin Games," he added.
