Posted Tuesday, February 23, 2010 by Goal.com
The world football governing body revealed this in a statement at the end of the third International Football Medicine Conference in Sun City, South Africa.
FIFA will be conducting no-advance-notice out-of-competition doping tests (of both blood and urine samples) in training camps from 10 April to 10 June 2010, as well as stringent in-competition tests during the 2010 FIFA World Cup itself.
The teams are required to submit their whereabouts to FIFA by 22 March 2010.
“We take the fight against doping very seriously and are committed to continuing it in full compliance with the WADA Code,” explained Prof. Jiri Dvorak.
More than 33,000 doping controls have been conducted in football over the years, resulting in only 0.03% positive cases.
