Uefa rejects football doping claims

A study revealed 7.7 per cent of 879 players tested returned high testosterone levels - but European football's governing body says there's no widespread problem

Uefa has denied the use of performance-enhancing drugs is widespread in professional football, on the back of a commissioned study that suggests otherwise.
Europe's governing body responded to results from a study that reportedly revealed 7.7 per cent of 879 players tested returned high testosterone levels.
The use of anabolic steroids has been suggested by media outlets throughout Europe but Uefa released a statement insisting performance-enhancing drugs are not prevalent in the game.
"Further to media reports this evening, Uefa would like to clarify a number of points regarding the report that it commissioned and contributed to, which was published earlier this month," Saturday's statement read. .
