Fifa directly handles the anti doping programmes for

" FIFA directly handles the anti-doping programmes for all FIFA competitions, so any player
is participating in a FIFA competition may be required to undergo a doping control at any time.
FIFA collects both blood and urine samples as well as screening for substances such as
erythropoietin (EPO) and human growth hormone. FIFA adopts a no-advance-notice testing
policy for both in- and out-of-competition testing. (Football Development - Medical - Anti-
Doping - FIFA.com)."
" To conduct anti-doping tests in and out of competition, FIFA has a network of trained
doping control officers (DCOs) around the world, who are all medical doctors. New DCOs
follow FIFA’s in-depth training programme and all DCOs are subject to regular audits by the
FIFA Anti-Doping Unit to ensure a high standard of procedure and uniformity. All analysis of the
samples is carried out in WADA-accredited laboratories(Football Development - Medical - Anti-
Doping - FIFA.com)."
" Anti-doping controls at confederation and national levels are directly handled by the

makes sure that the MA and confederation Anti-Doping Regulations are in line with ours by
overseeing the result management at different levels of football, including potential appeals to
the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Football Development - Medical - Anti-Doping - FIFA.com)."

Confederations Cup. Any abnormalities in the ABP may indicate a potential abuse of
performance-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids or hormones and the manipulation of
blood. (Football Development - Medical - Anti-Doping - FIFA.com, November 28, 2018). "
Basketball and football handle performance used differently as well, they are just as strict as
FIFA is but they also test for other drugs such as marijuana and others. They use drug testing
strategies to handle these affairs by having a couple of random drug test each month to prevent
players from use and to keep them at bay if caught players will serve a game suspension and
have to pay feasible fine for the action if a player is found a second time further punishment will
be applied and
in some extreme cases the player could be banned from the league.
The ethics behind the use of performance enhancing drugs is a complicated and vast one as
It was once allowed in some sports as they were not sure how it came to be. Performance
enhancement drugs were used first as energy boosters in War it was a mixture of random

concoctions but finally led to steroids which found its way to sports and to now have it be
banned entirely in all competitions. Sports ethics also ranges to injuries as each game has a
general protocol when a player is found hurt or is in some pain. For football, they have whole
