In recent years, anti-doping tests have multiplied almost everywhere in the world of sport, and that of football has not escaped it. Frenchman Paul Pogba has been suspended for four years due to a positive testosterone test, and other players are expected to be tested more often. The figures illustrate that examinations have become more and more frequent over the past ten years.
As revealed Football and Finance, between 2013 and 2023, anti-doping tests in the world of football increased by 500%. Italy's National Anti-Doping Agency, Nado Italia, has conducted tests 1,130 times. Note that the controls are “based on denunciations and information”, as explained by the general director of the structure Alessia Di Gianfrancesco.
