FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter applauded that the Women's World Cup China 2007 is a completely doping-free tournament at a press conference on Saturday.

"It's a doping free Women's World Cup," said Blatter.

Despite criticism by the world anti-doping body WADA, the FIFA has set a very good image in the anti-doping campaign, said the soccer chief.

"We made up doping tests after each competition. Four players will undergo doping control, but there's not a single case of positive result," Blatter said.

"Congratulations to those players. It's a good example to the whole sports world, and for the 2008 Olympics it's also good."

Blatter said he was also pleased with the fact there was no direct red card case during the first 30 matches of the tournament, which proved that it was a very clean World Cup.
