No Doping at the World Cup? That’s What FIFA Says

So far in this World Cup, not a single player has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

Great job, soccer, Nike Free 5.0 New we are proud of you!

Just as FIFA has shown the ability to patrol match fixing, head injuries, racism in the stands and stadium security, it is again showing that it is on top of the serious issues in the game.

Fans break through the gates? Don’t worry, they were chased down like chickens and caught inside. Cheap Nike Lunarglide 5 Online Player knocked unconscious during a game? Don’t worry, his team doctor took less than two minutes to determine he was fine.

And just as in the past two decades, FIFA again has a perfect record of keeping out the cheaters.

What a wonderful streak of a clean sport soccer has had in this, Discount Air Max Tailwind+ 5 Online Store its biggest tournament, where nearly 1,000 players compete for hours and hours every four years in hot, humid conditions for three weeks or more. This year, some are even playing in the Amazon rain forest. Nearly all the players were tested before the World Cup began, and two players from each team are tested each game. Yet there has not been a single failed doping test at the World Cup in a generation.

The last time a player tested positive at this event was 20 years ago, when Diego Maradona was kicked out of the 1994 tournament for using the stimulant ephedrine.

The absence of failed drug tests is a clear indication that World Cup stars do not need to rely on pharmaceuticals to get by, right?
But none of that, and none of the retired soccer players who have said they received unidentified injections from team doctors, should ruin anyone’s view of soccer at this World Cup.

Don’t let it ruin this moment. No one ever tests positive at the World Cup. Just do what FIFA has done in the past: Close your eyes and pretend that doping in soccer does not exist.
