Cases of doping in the world of traditional sports are very sporadic. On the other hand, in eSports, this practice has become increasingly common. Many players choose to take pills to improve concentration or stimulants to enhance their performance. The FIFA 18 World Cup will seek to control this problem.
FIFA has decided to intervene in the development of the FIFA eWorld Cup of FIFA 18. As the official eSport of the biggest football entity, it will align itself with the ethical and disciplinary codes of football.
The 32 players will undergo analysis at some point during the competition. FIFA seeks to align itself with the Esports Integrity Coalition (EIC) and subsequently bring their cases to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
FIFA 18 will be the first eSport that complies with the regulations of traditional sports regarding doping. Each participant will have to sign the Disciplinary Code and the Code of Ethics of FIFA. Additionally, betting houses will be meticulously controlled by the football governing body to prevent fraud or deception.
