The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations says the task force will be headed by archery federation president Ugur Erdener, who also chairs the IOC`s medical commission.
The panel will study "the current anti-doping activities and related expenditure" of the 28 federations. ASOIF says the results will deliver "valuable input to the ongoing discussions about the potential creation of an independent body for testing."
Olympic leaders agreed last month that drug-testing should be taken out of the hands of the federations to make it more credible. IOC President Thomas Bach proposed last week that testing be turned over to an independent unit within the World Anti-Doping Agency.
