Hoffenheim plan 'doping chaperones' for tardy players

China Daily | Updated: 2009-03-18 07:54

BERLIN: Bundesliga club Hoffenheim were fined 75,000 euros ($97,000) on Monday after two players were late for a doping test and the German soccer federation (DFB) announced new measures to avoid such delays happening again.

The DFB said it would introduce official doping chaperones from next season so that first and second division players selected for random tests are escorted straight to the doping control room after the final whistle.

Hoffenheim players Andreas Ibertsberger and Christoph Janker had already been cleared of any wrongdoing after they were 10 minutes late for the test after last month's draw with Borussia Moenchengladbach as a club official did not tell them in time.
