Brazilian players undergo dope test

Weggis (Switzerland): FIFA doctors visited Brazil's training camp on Thursday to conduct surprise doping tests on four of its World Cup players.

Goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni, defender Luisao, and midfielders Gilberto Silva and Juninho were picked randomly for the tests, the Brazilian Soccer Confederation said.

FIFA had announced in March that all players participating in the World Cup could be subjected to surprise doping tests before and during the June 9-July 9 tournament in Germany.

The visit to Brazil's training camp was headed by FIFA chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak.

During the visit, Brazilian doctors used the opportunity to hand FIFA an official report on defender Edmilson's knee injury, which prompted the player to be dropped from the squad on Wednesday.

Teams can only make changes to their squads due to injuries and with FIFA's approval.
