ON THE?EVE?of a new domestic season, footballers have been warned to prepare for drug testing.
The new vice-president of the Barbados Football Association (BFA), Captain Al Walcott, said yesterday that random tests would definitely be carried out in the Digicel Premier League as soon as it was practicable.
“We haven’t put everything in place yet so we cannot say definitively that it would but if we get it in place, we can [do the testing],” he told a media conference at the National Stadium.
“But we first have to be fair and let the clubs know that is what we are going to be doing so that persons can work on getting themselves clean and then from there, we can implement the testing.”
