Football urged to up the ante against doping

Football must do more in the fight against drug cheats, World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey has warned.

The subject of doping has been brought into focus recently, with the case of disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong followed by revelations of cheating in Australian sport.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes current controls in football are not strict enough to catch the cheats and WADA president Fahey agrees with the Frenchman, highlighting a need for increased testing for the blood-boosting drug EPO and the use of athlete biological passports.
