CFA Determined to Wipe out Use of Banned DrugAs declared by Yan Shiduo, vice-chairman of CFA (China Football Association) at the national soccer working conference concluded in Shenzhen, CFA is going to carry out spot check on the illegal drug use among football players. Whoever is detected to have used the banned drug will be sternly punished according to the regulations."Serious attention should be given to the problem of using the stimulants," Yan added, " Nobody has ever been found using the drug in the past examination. However, I am not sure whether there is any violation in using the banned drugs among our players. The heads of clubs and coaches should have a clearer picture about this. Drug use should be considered as a political issue, for it not only goes against the principle of equality, but also harms the image of China in the international sports arena. We are determined to get rid of the tumor of using the stimulants." By PD Online staff member Yin Zhili |
