Norway's Anti-Doping Agency Tests Deceased Football Legends In Mix-Up

World Anti-Doping Agency Symposium in Lausanne

Norway's men's football team recently had an unexpected encounter with the country's anti-doping agency during a routine testing session. The agency requested urine samples from several players, including Erling Haaland, a prominent player from Manchester City. However, what made this particular testing session unique was the inclusion of two former Norwegian football legends, Jorgen Juve and Einar Gundersen, who have long passed away.

Norway's manager, Stale Solbakken, shared his surprise at the selection of Juve and Gundersen for testing, given their historical significance in Norwegian football. The team even questioned the legitimacy of the request, humorously suggesting the possibility of a hidden camera. Ultimately, the tests on the deceased players came back negative, highlighting the unusual error in the selection process.
