PFA: drug test plans go ‘step too far’

PLAYERS’ chiefs have served notice that they will fight plans for the Premier League’s top stars to be tested for drug use in their own homes.

The Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) claim the plan would be “an invasion of privacy”.

Under the World Anti-Doping Association’s (WADA) new code, a pool of 30 elite players will be forced to undergo up to five tests a year — not including those carried out after matches.
