Zurich – Fifa says the World Anti-Doping Agency has praised their anti-doping program to test football players for banned substances.

Fifa says they have been told by Wada to expect inclusion in a report this year of sports federations which comply with the World Anti-Doping Code.

Football's governing body was approved on the last Wada compliance list in 2008 despite longstanding tension between the organizations. They made peace the next year.

Wada leaders held a joint news conference with Fifa medical experts at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which was later declared clean of doping.

Fifa says world football spends $30 million (about R214–million) annually conducting 33,000 tests, and catches about 10 players using performance-enhancing drugs. – Sapa-AP
