Norway Drug Bosses Ask to Test Dead Football Stars for PEDs
A Dopey Request
Norway drug bosses have asked to test dead football stars for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), in a move that has been described as "dopey" by experts.
The Request
The request was made by the Norwegian Medicines Agency (NMA), which is responsible for regulating the use of drugs in the country.
The NMA said it wants to test the bodies of dead football stars to see if they were using PEDs.
The Reaction
The request has been met with criticism from experts, who say it is unlikely to provide any useful information.
Dr. David Mottram, a sports scientist at the University of Portsmouth, said: "This is a dopey idea. You can't test dead people for PEDs."<\p>
Mottram said that the body breaks down PEDs after death, so it would be impossible to detect them in a dead person's body.
The Reason
The NMA has not said why it wants to test dead football stars for PEDs.
However, it is possible that the NMA is concerned about the use of PEDs in football.
PEDs are illegal in Norway, and the NMA may be trying to deter their use by testing dead football stars.
