FIFA makes peace with WADA on drug testing

GENEVA: FIFA and the World Anti-Doping Agency announced an agreement on Wednesday in their dispute over rules for drug testing elite soccer players.

The governing body of world football said WADA has accepted its new plan to limit the number of players who will be required to detail their whereabouts every day during the offseason.

FIFA chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak said team sports like soccer could now target for testing players defined as "at risk" - such as those recovering from injury or who previously used a banned substance.
