Referees to now be tested for drugs

Referees are set to be subject to drugs tests, Fifa's medical chiefs reveal. Match officials now have to pass stringent fitness tests and the world governing body's medical experts say they should also be tested to make sure they are not taking performance-enhancing substances.

Most of the time I wish their performance was enhanced! Does a pair of glasses count in this?

I thought the same. If it takes drugs to add a degree of competence to their work then so be it!

I don't really see the point in it seeing as drugs are "performance enhancing" but whatever.
