Roger Federer is well aware of how difficult it is to get fit without cheating. The Swiss Maestro has always managed to reach an incredible condition also after he reached his 30^th birthday.

During an interview on Friday, Roger expressed his opinions about how to counteract doping.

MORE FUNDING

Federer commented

“It’s really hard for me to tell but with all the money we have in the sport, you would think they would have more funding for the anti-doping program.

That seems logical to me, but maybe it’s not so logical to get that money because we’ve had some issues in the past but it’s not been all the time everywhere. But I would like to see more funding, no doubt about it, especially during the off season.”

ALWAYS TESTS FOR QUARTERFINALISTS

Then Roger added

“I would like to see more funding for when the players work the hardest. I’ve always said it – the best way is that you get tested every let’s say quarter-final that you play in a tournament, so you know there will be testers there when the prize money and the points go up.”

MORE EFFORT DURING THE OFF SEASON

Finally, the Maestro concluded

“I think for the players’ minds it will be a good thing to have, and for the off season you don’t want just a few countries to do their utmost and for other countries to never test. It needs to be across the board, and that’s why I think internationally it needs a lot of funding and how you get to that money is another debate but I think we could definitely do with more funding overall.”
