It is generally said that football is not a purely physical sport, which spared the temptation of doping. Joao Havelange, former FIFA president, said during his reign that "football was not as culturally affected by doping."
In an individual sport, the benefit depends primarily on the degree of muscle power and endurance. While in the football or other sports, these two factors are not enough. There are a number of other criteria that come into play, making the football complex. Including all the coordination capabilities, as the technique, the combination of collective movements, anticipation, reaction, or rhythm.
athletic But with the intensity of modern football teams and schedules, endurance has become increasingly important in football, even if banned substances will never change the technique of a player, she will be very useful to express it for 90 minutes, 60 to 80 times per year ...
Zidane said: "Even the most technical player in the world can not express his game as he should if his physical condition is not good."
Michel D'Hooghe, chairman of the Medical Board stated before FIFA World Cup 2002: "EPO is introduced into the whole sports world and I can not believe that there is a fence around the football fields (...) It is possible for players to play 70 or 80 games a year. They do ... The question is: How? " .
Michel D'Hooge particular raised "the risks incurred by players who incur expenses while undergoing physical multiplied maximum pressure" , and suggests that "aggression on the land could be a symptom of decision-products such as anabolic steroids " (Zidane's headbutt on Materazzi). He questioned also on "the responsibility of scientists and doctors who work the system" and concerned about the "known presence of some experts cycling or skiing in media of footbal" .
Yet the anti-doping campaigns FIFA are primarily intended deterrent operations to warn potential offenders. FIFA has no interest in positive controls during its main competition: the World Cup. There is therefore no surprise that little attention is aroused by the problem within FIFA.
should be given how real programs of prevention and repression of doping. FIFA has unfortunately no interest in risking disenchant the ideal world of football. She refused any alignment with those practices advocated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), whose mission is yet. She has no interest in seeing an independent lift the veil on reality.
In an article in France Football, even the players are reluctant to fight anti-doping constant as it is applied, for example tennis. Indeed, the masters of L1 and L2 did not comply with the constraints of the WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) in 2009. Marseille captain, Lorik Cana , said he had considered at a time, to lead a revolt " I decided to contact all the captains of L1. We had to agree and refuse this measure. " But they finally gave up.
Of all the captains interviewed by France Football , the vast majority is opposed or at best skeptical about the proliferation of anti-doping controls periodic because it has an enormous personal duress . This is the case of some major players: "It's ridiculous , thinks so Claude Makelele. They'll have trouble with me, especially during the holidays. It is with family, friends, in the discretion . " Some players have serious doubts the effectiveness of these new controls. " In sixteen years I tested a half dozen times , "said Pierre-Yves Andre . Yann Kermorgant Captain Rheims says " must not close our eyes. Football, like other disciplines is affected by doping .
An obviously well protected!
