Bizarre: FIFA wants to drug test referees.

This makes a lot of sense. How often have any of you not been watching a football match and shouted: "How can the ref run like that at his age? he must be on speed and/or steroids. This infamy must not stand!"

Never, I'd wager.

But FIFA wants to begin testing referees for performance enhancing drugs.

I think we should test Blatter for dementia instead.
