At a time when the Football Association is preparing to withdraw from UK Sport's Wada-accredited testing laboratories to set up its own procedures, Wenger pleaded instead for closer adherence to international rules.

 Preston North End Football Club - PNE FC
Preston North End were one of the biggest earliest influences on football, moving the game forward in many ways especially in forcing the sport away from its' amateur roots and towards the inevitability of professionalism.
Retaining a strong Scottish influence, which survives to this day, North End were promoted back to the first division in 1934, reached the FA Cup final in 1937 only to lose to Sunderland and returned to Wembley again the following year to face their conquerors of 1922, Huddersfield.
Under the steely guidance of Moyes the club returned to the second tier of English football in 2000 and have twice been only a play off final away from making it to the Premiership, only to turn in abject performances against Bolton Wanderers in 2001 and West Ham United in 2005.
