Dead football legends would be doping tested

Anti-Doping Norway showed up at the national team gathering in football and asked to test a number of players. Among them, the superstar Erling Braut Haaland – and two who had been dead for many years.

I thought it sounded strange and called up Anti-Doping Norway and asked if it was Hidden Camera, says national team captain Ståle Solbakken.

Jørgen Juve is Norway's top scorer in the national team with 33 goals. He died at the age of 76 in 1983, while Einar Gundersen scored 26 goals and passed away in 1962.

Manchester City star Erling Braut Haaland is the one with the second most national team goals, 31, and he was also selected for doping testing.

They had taken players from the list of those with the most national team goals and added a few players, says Solbakken about Anti-Doping Norway's selection.

So Einar Gundersen and Jørgen Juve were called in. It was a bit late. Negative tests for both of them.

Oscar Bobb, who was also selected for testing, is not part of the national team squad for the Nations League matches against Kazakhstan and Austria.
