MA isn't looking for Performance Enhancing substances so the whole WADA/ASADA thing doesn't apply, it's more about making sure those track side or on the track itself have not taken anything that may make them a danger to themselves or others.

Anyone with a Series Credential can be (and has been) tested including Media/Photographers who can be just as exposed to danger as marshals and racers.

AA recently had a major article on the subject and realistically I don't think Motorsport would have the Performance Enhancing Drug issue some others have as the article pretty much confirmed.
