Arsene Wenger in doping row with Uefa ahead of must-win game

Arsene Wenger has called on Uefa to change its rules on drug cheats, saying the current regulations “basically accept doping”.

Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Arijan Ademi was handed a four-year ban for failing a drugs test after the Croatian side beat Arsenal in the Champions League in September.

Zoran Mamic’s team won 2-1 in Zagreb and now Arsenal face them again at the Emirates Stadium knowing they must secure victory to stand any chance of getting out of their group.
