In other news, five Mexican football players have tested positive for Clenbuterol.
They claim that it's tainted beef or chicken they ate. You know, Mexico is know for having a ridiculous percentage of its meat tainted with clen. I bet they won't have a hair test though.
From April 2007 to August 2010 experts cancelled 240 checks because players from clubs including ÂLiverpool, Manchester City and ÂNewcastle did not turn up.
A survey of 2,800 Âfootballers – of whom 700 responded – saw 28 per cent admit they have not been tested for two years.
Not a big surprise actually.
There are just sports with lots of sponsor moneys. Football, Formula 1, tennis. There you just don`t really have a good anti doping system.
Same counts for swimming, although there isn`t the big money behind.
Imagine football player would have to give them information about their whereabout every day. They would strike until it`s folded again. No comparison to cycling at all.

Not some big international news, but something to laugh about, at least:
New Indian investor in the Danish Superliga club FC Midtjylland hopes that FC Midtjylland will be competing among the best for the Champions League title within the next 3 to 5 years.
His investment is between £8,000,000 and £12,000,000.
Haha. That`s hilarious. at first I thought: "Oh no, please not another investor club", but when I saw the small amount of money I had a smile on my face.
