WC anti-doping tests in April
Anti-doping tests on players competing in the World Cup will start in April, two months ahead of the June 11 kick-off in South Africa, FIFA's chief medical officer said on Monday.
Teams are required to submit their whereabouts to the world football body by March 22 with testing in training camps running from April 10 to June 10.
"Two months prior the World Cup, we will be visiting the teams unannounced," said FIFA chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak, saying that eight players in a squad will be randomly selected for blood and urine testing.
