Huh.
Before the World Cup really kicks off about 35% of players (octad per squad) testament be selected at random for dose and pee examination, which an abysmally big issue – equation to 256 tests. Another 256 tests bequeath contract position during the tourney, so the hale matter’s on the up and up. Or not on the up and up, as it were.
More than the World Cup examination themselves, which you’d birth to cogitate may make a plus someplace in the study granted account, is the numbers of dose examination on the unit for football: it’s by and enceinte a identical, really scavenge mutant.
FIFA checkup head Michel D’Hooghe:

All of which is identical dear until the earth’s outdo thespian fails a dose examination middle done the tourney and the hale affair waterfall obscure and…yadda. (Don’t drinking the piddle, Leo!)
In former word thither leave be a crackdown on abrasive tackles which testament see red cards fast approximately leavey nilly.
