UEFA’s doping control officers (DCOs) have met in Nyon to discuss a catalogue of issues which have an impact on their jobs, as UEFA continues its concerted campaign against drug-taking in football. In the 2007\/08 campaign, 2,027 in and out-of-competition doping controls were conducted in all UEFA competitions, including the UEFA EURO 2008\u2122 final tournament, as well as at youth, women’s and futsal events.

A total of 637 out-of-competition controls were conducted, representing around a third of the doping controls during the whole season. In the current season, 566 players have been tested in-competition so far, including 255 for EPO. Out-of-competition tests on 285 players from the 32 teams taking part in the UEFA Champions League have been carried out so far.<\/p>\n
