European Athletics boss Svein Arne Hansen has warned that the sport's integrity is "non-negotiable", if it is continue to succeed.
The Times has reported that one-third of all medals in endurance events at Olympics and World Championships since 2001 were won by athletes with suspicious test results.
In a statement, Hansen has revealed that European Athletics is looking to bring in ideas that can be adopted by global bodies and anti-doping authorities in the future.
He said: "For our part, we in European Athletics understand that integrity is non-negotiable and it is the basis for the continued existence and success of our sport.
"We also recognise that substance abuse and other forms of cheating for financial gain or other reasons are challenges not only for sport but also for society as a whole.
"But we are under no illusions that there is an easy fix, and we are currently developing other ideas that we can introduce in Europe as examples for the rest of the sport around the world or propose to the IAAF and WADA for worldwide implementation."
The data includes the results of 12,000 blood tests from 5,000 athletes.
