FIFA, WADA to create soccer anti-doping program
October 29, 2009
ZURICH (AP) -FIFA and the World Anti-Doping Agency will work together on a new anti-doping program to test top-level soccer players.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter and WADA president John Fahey met Thursday at FIFA headquarters to finalize the agreement.
The organizations will work with WADA-accredited laboratories to design a research project that could start next year. The plan likely will be modeled on cycling's biological passport program.
Athletes give regular samples to create individual body chemistry profiles that allow scientists to see evidence of doping, rather than search for banned substances.
