FIFA and the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA) have come to an agreement this week over new screening rules imposed on high profile players.
The players union have complained to FIFA and the UEFA that the new WADA rules were unrealistic and restrictive. As of January 1st WADA implemented a new rule that asked that players divulge their off-season travel plans to the association months in advance. The rule left little for spontaneity, unrealistic especially if you are the type of person who likes to just take off to the Caribbean.
Instead of the restrictive rules, WADA said that they would allow players giving them little notice but that they will still keep a watchful eye on suspected players.
WADA is an independent organization that has the ability to make their own rules about how they screen players. Think of them like an independent auditing company.
