10.6% of those who take part in angling were recorded as producing “an adverse analytical finding” along with 3.6% of bridge players, and 1.1% of billiards players according to The Daily Telegraph.
The results also take into account the use of TUE's (Therapeutic Use Exemption) and state that the failed tests may not necessarily be as a direct result of cheating.
