World Cup 2014: Costa Rica fume as FIFA tests 7 of its players for drugs:

The World Cup's biggest controversy is here with world football up in arms after seven Costa Rican players were called for dope tests by FIFA after their 1-0 win over Italy which secured qualification to the 2nd round.

As per FIFA norms, it is customary for two players from a team to be tested for drugs after a match - but the decision to test seven Costa Rican players including the goal-scorer in that Italy game - Bryan Ruiz - has raised several eyebrows, with Argentinian legend Diego Maradonna accusing football's governing body of discrimination. FIFA though maintain that this is a routine drug test - and that additional players were called in because they weren't available earlier.

"Why test seven players from Costa Rica and not seven from Italy?" Maradona, the 1986World Cup winner, said. "It's against the rules. Two players from each team are supposed to undergo doping controls. I know what I'm talking about because it happened to me. But seven players? I've never seen something like that.
