We have campaigned for more drug tests, say English football authorities

At least a quarter of English Football League players were not tested at all last season.

The English Football League (EFL) has "campaigned" for its players to be drug-tested more often and said it is unfair to blame it, the clubs or players for any perceived testing shortage.

Compared to the year before, the overall number of tests rose last season in the Premier League by almost a half and were up by nearly a quarter in the EFL.
