Doping control - updated

: Due to the lower number of entries and due to the fact, that with all respect to the participating swimmers, it would appear that world or regional records are unlikely, Organising Committee decided to cancel the doping control. It means that the times will be included into the world ranking, but there will no longer be the opportunity for European or World Records to be ratified.
