FA 'asks Wenger to explain doping claims'

The Football Association has reportedly approached Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to elaborate on his recent claims that there is a doping problem in football.

The Frenchman revealed in an interview with L'Equipe that he has encountered "many teams" that have used performance-enhancing drugs.

One particular incident came to light in September when Arijan Ademi failed a drugs test following his side's 2-1 win over Arsenal in the Champions League.

According to the London Evening Standard, the FA has contacted Wenger, asking him to have a discussion about his doping concerns and provide any information that he may have.

The English governing body is taking the claims seriously, but Wenger is not in any trouble.
