– We had to call Antidoping Norway and wondered if there was a hidden camera since there were two people standing here. Is it a hidden camera or is it as it is? That is the question national team manager Ståle Solbakken asked himself after the unannounced doping control. Because when the doping hunters came to the door, they had the following names that they wanted to test, according to Solbakken: Erling Braut Haaland, Jørgen Strand Larsen, Antonio Nusa, Oscar Bobb, Einar Gundersen and Jørgen Juve. The problem is that the latter two died in 1962 and 1983 respectively. Another problem is that Manchester City star Oscar Bobb is long-term injured and has not been able to play for the two upcoming Nations League matches for Norway. These players called ADNO in for a doping test: Jørgen JuveEinar Gundersen (in the middle) Erling Braut HaalandJørgen Strand LarsenAntonio Nusa and Oscar Bobb – Made a big mistake ADNO itself calls it a huge blunder. – What has happened? – No, what has happened is not good to say. There has obviously been a big miss. Antidoping Norway works for and tends to hit more targets than we did here. There is no doubt about that, says Halvor Byfuglien who is head of communications at Antidoping Norway to news. LAYING FLAT: Halvor Byfuglien in Antidoping Norway.

Here, of course, there has been a big mistake in the planning of the doping control, replies Byfuglien. – How can you be sure that you are testing the right athletes when you miss as grossly as here? – I understand that that question is being asked, but there has been a big miss here, and we tend to hit the ball a lot cleaner than we did here. Are you lying flat? – Yes, there is no reason to do anything else here, says Byfuglien. The national team also confirms to news that the incident actually took place. – I’m starting to wonder. They must have added a hatchback and only taken the ones at the top of the top scorer list first and only added a few others afterwards, says Solbakken to laughter from the audience during the press conference. – Einar Gundersen and Jørgen Juve were summoned a little late, but the tests were negative on Jørgen and Einar, continues a smiling Solbakken. HIDDEN CAMERA?: That was the question Ståle Solbakken asked himself when he met the doping hunters on Tuesday.

And easy to laugh at, seen in isolation. But it also undermines trust in the anti-doping work on which the controllers are completely dependent. And which from football’s side has already been a bit variable in the past, says news’s sports commentator Jan Petter Saltvedt. – EXTREMELY EMBARRASSED: That’s what news’s sports commentator thinks about the ADNO blunder.

The two have 24 and 23 goals respectively for the national team. – The next on the top scorer list, which ADNO has obviously looked at, is Harald Hennum, so it’s probably only for his descendants to prepare for a visit ahead of the Austria match at home, says Saltvedt. Next Friday, Norway plays an away game against Kazakhstan, before Austria waits for Ullevaal on Monday. Published 04/09/2024, at 09.47 Updated 04.09.2024, at 10.09
