The fight against doping in football is one that is receiving a lot of attention. It is a sport that has not experienced any major doping scandals yet, unlike cycling, athletics and swimming, but that does not mean that the game can afford to be complacent. Jose Mourinho has talked of his own “Dr Needles”, for example, and WADA’s internal surveys showed that more footballers violated anti-doping regulations in 2011 than athletes from any other sport.Check this out :http://www.ufabet.partners/blog/ยูฟ่า/

The current anti-doping strategy has failed to prevent several doping cases in football and other sports. Several factors contribute to this failure, such as ignorance (taking substances that are prohibited without realising it), peer pressure and lack of insight into the negative impact of doping. In addition, the discovery of a positive result often leads to lengthy bans that have radical effects on the athletes’ lives, including financial problems, loss of reputation and difficulties in the labour market.

Playing Clean: Navigating the Challenge of Anti-Doping Regulations in Football

The challenge for FIFA is to develop a more effective strategy to prevent doping and recreational drugs in football. One possible approach is to introduce unannounced testing at training grounds following the impressive example of UEFA with the Champions League teams. This could also be combined with medical monitoring of players by team physicians who would ensure that their treatment is following the FIFA Anti-Doping Regulations. This would be a cost-effective solution that would also reduce the risk of corruption as professional ethical codes and medicolegal constraints bind physicians.
