FIFA alarmed by use of food supplements
ZURICH, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Soccer's governing body FIFA is alarmed at the number of players taking food supplements and has warned of the risks of failing dope tests by taking non-approved products.Chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak told FIFA's website (www.fifa.com) that around 35 percent of players at World Cup level were regularly taking food supplements, with that figure rising to almost 50 percent at un- der-17 and under-20 level. Dvorak said that many players did not seek medical advice and risked failing doping tests as a result.
