Interesting video.
Apparently FIFA has mandated a battery of tests. The expert on the video claims that it is preventative (think heart failure of Hank Gathers from Loyola Marymount) but with bloodwork and urine analysis, it'd be a pretty comprehensive test for drug use as well.
We all know they are amazing athletes but it's still fun to hear the medical professionals gush over their fitness:
"3 or 4 times better than people we usually test";
LD "went through three cycles" or something;
Re: Mastro "it's amazing really" - blood pressure 160 when others would be well over 200 at even half the difficulty
Also funny pic of Ben Olsen with shaved patches in his chest hair from the sensor patches.
