FIFA, UEFA reject WADA rule

The two most powerful bodies in football, the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have rejected the World Anti-Doping Agency\'s (WADA) out-of-competition drug-testing rule and asked the organisation to reconsider.



The WADA rule requires athletes in all sports to give drug-testers three months\' notice of their whereabouts for one hour each day of the year.



In a statement after today’s UEFA Executive Committee meeting, the pair asked WADA to reconsider the rule in a spirit of collaboration in the fight against doping.
