In light of the Maria Sharapova case, do you think referees should be drug-tested?
A football referee isn't a sportsperson as such but, the job is very physical and requires a certain degree of fitness to perform at any level. Indeed, one of the criteria for promotion (and staying there) is passing a fitness test. How would you feel as a budding L5-4 candidate if you found out you missed promotion because of a referee who was fitter than you but had taken banned medication in order to pass the test?
