Sol - 'Whereabouts' over the top
Sol Campbell believes plans to randomly test members of the England football team for drugs would be difficult to implement. [LNB] High performance sports agency UK Sport asked a number of disciplines to sign up to the 'Whereabouts' rule in January and football is the only one that has not agreed.[LNB]The policy would require footballers to give drugs testers their specific location for one hour of every week with up to three months' notice in order to carry out on-the-spot examinations.[LNB]However, Campbell, who is in talks over a new contract at Portsmouth, believes the unpredictable nature of football will mean the rule is tough to carry out. [LNB]"You have got to look at the situation and every individual sport," the centre-back told Sky Sports News.[LNB]"I know they look at sport as everyone on the same level. But football is quite logistically hard to work out.[LNB]"Football is quite mobile. You can't be saying, 'you have got to be here, or you have got to be there'.[LNB]"It is going to be hard. Football is a different animal and I think they have to treat it completely differently."[LNB]
