(Xinhua)
Updated: 2006-06-02 08:58 FIFA doctors Thursday made a
surprise visit to Brazil's training camp in Weggis, Switzerland for doping tests
on four of its World Cup players.
Goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni, defender Luisao, and midfielders Gilberto Silva and
Juninho were picked randomly for the tests, the Brazilian Soccer Confederation
said.
FIFA said in March that all players participating in the World Cup could be
subjected to surprise doping tests before and during the June 9-July 9
tournament in Germany.
The visit to Brazil's camp was headed by FIFA chief medical officer Jiri
Dvorak.
