Sport is slowly but surely returning to the calendar, albeit largely without spectators, amid the coronavirus pandemic with stringent testing in place.
But not everyone will be familiar with how the testing process works.
Well, thanks to golf star Ian Poulter we have a better idea of what the measures entail.
Poulter posted a video on Twitter with a swab being pushed deep into his nostril and, after a few squirms and shaking of the head, saw the funny side and could be heard saying "you got the money spot".
Alongside the video was the caption: "Have you ever wondered what Corona Virus (sic) testing in sport looks like...bet you don't want to know what it feels like!"

Poulter returned to action on the PGA Tour at the Charles Schwab Challenge last weekend and finished in a tie for 29th.
